Sure it does re-write the list and re-add
users.
In my case, however, broadcast is intended for all
users, with no exceptions; otherwise, it would have defeated the very pupose of
broadcasting to ALL users.
In you case, if you want to exclude some users from
receiving broadcast, you may add delivery rules to their malboxes so that
all messages with "to :[EMAIL PROTECTED]" would be filtered directly
into the trash bin.

If you have people opt-out and ask to be removed from your
notices,
doesn't this overwrite the old list, and re-add
them?
Thanks

I use makelist utility
from Ipswitch and a simple batch file:
First, I created allfolks list under my domain. Then I wrote a batch
file called makelist.bat, that contains just one
line:
makelist mydomain.com >
d:\imail\lists\allfolks\users.lst
This command transfers all usernames from mydomain.com into address
database of allfolks list.
I put
makelist.bat into winnt\system32 directory
Next, I configured NT scheduler (GUI), so every 4 hours
batch runs as follows:
C:\WINNT\system32\CMD.EXE /c
makelist.bat
that's
it!

- What utility do you use for this, and what script do you use

- This is what I do: I use another Ipswitch utility to exrtact all
users of domain nad put them in the list called "allfokls". Then I just
e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. To
automate this I use NT scheduler that updates my "allfolks" list in the
above manner 4 times a day, so my list is always up-to-date.

- It takes some time to set it up, but after this you can e-mail to
all your users from any mail client.
