In Majordomo 1.94a7 I am still having problems with the lists being
erased.

This happened again today when I had issued about 600-700 unsubscribe
requests within a 15 minute period. In fact, I had a suspicion that it
happened without even checking the lists because some of the requests were
coming back half-completed (I would issue 13 requests in one message and
only 4 would even be quoted in Majordomo's response). 

Given that this is a huge amount of requests in such a short period of
time, but losing a subscribers list is a serious thing. This *must* be
fixed, otherwise it rules out Majordomo as being able to handle large
lists.

There must be some more checks put into Majordomo to make sure that the
subscriber's file is actually being written and not "erased".

Please let me know if the next alpha release will address this issue in
any way.

I appreciate your time and realize that you must be very backlogged after
being away (I was just away for 5 days and am *very* backlogged, so I can
appreciate your situation after having been away for a few weeks).

Thank you very much,
