I am using choplist and sendmail to distribute postings. Does anyone (Philip?) know if there is a lock time after choplist does its thing during which the dist file shouldn't be changed? I'm guessing that once I see the entry in the log that the message has been delivered to choplist that it is OK to change the dist file but I wanted to make sure my suumption was correct.
