I had this problem when I started with Smartlist and I didn't use the unix delinking to fix the problem. I just deleted the subscribe.txt file, then uploaded (via ftp) to each list's directory on the server the new subscribe.txt file I'd composed for that list on my home machine. I didn't want to get into learning the whole unix thing - that's what I have a husband to handle - nothing sexist here, he's just been doing it since the 80s so I concentrate on learning things he doesn't know or that I really need, and I have an alternate method here (given above) that works just as well for me, plus I don't have to spend time looking up unix commands which I don't use frequently enough to actually memorize. I think this last bit is the main point! Anne Charlie Summers wrote:

How can I customise the welcome message when people subscribe to the list, for each individual list I have on my server, i.e. having a different welcome message for each list. The subscribe.txt file is common to all lists, and when I change it, it sends the same message whatever the list is.
(*sigh*) . . .Since it's clear you don't understand the concept of linked files, I'd suggest you also read ...to understand how to delink the file before editing.
