Charlie, thank you for your excellent suggestion. I just thought that since SmartList was providing the (deceased) list's functionality, the solution would have to involve SmartList also. Your solution is an excellent one, that I didn't see because of my tunnel vision. Thanks, again. -Kevin Zembower

I'd like to close a mailing list and have all posters receive a message with a subject like "This mailing list has moved to foo@bar.com" and a more expansive explanation in the body, followed by the body of their message.

Why use SmartList for this at all? Close down the list, and set up a simple vacation message off of the aliases. (Or even send a 500-level error with the error message, "This list moved to foo@bar") Seems to me using SmartList for this is serious overkill. Charlie
