There is an undocumented flag that will cause that to happen: $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC MAIL$SYSTEM_FLAGS 7 The above is correct with one exception: MAIL$SYSTEM_FLAGS IS documented. See the section "System Management and MAIL" in the MAIL reference manual, which explains the individual bits you are setting when you use the value 7 above, and what they do. (That section, and several others, should be read by system managers who have to deal with user mail problems - i.e., ALL of them!) -- Jerry -------
