Hi,
I'm sending X-command like subscribe and unsubscribe to my list. I what to disable that a copy of subscribe/unsubscribe will be sent to the listmember. How do I do that?
Kind Regards, // Henric

The simplest way is to define two new xcommands within the x_command script that do what you want. If you are just acting on the dist file then someting like "add2dist" and "undist" will work:
_add2dist) $multigram -b1 -l$off_threshold -x$listreq -x$listaddr -a $2 $dist shift;;
_undist) $echo "From $2" | $multigram -b1 -l$off_threshold -x$listreq -$listaddr -d $dist shift;;
(you can add more "maintainer friendly" stuff if you choose) Rich

Why would you want to do this? Certainly, you are sending the X-Commands to the list only because the subscriber is having problems, since any other reason would convert your list from an opt-IN to an opt-OUT, and make it spam.
You may customize your subscribe.txt file, but sending nothing to the subscriber to let him know you have subscribed him wouldn't be proper netiquette, and pushes your list way too close to being unsolicited.
