So I thought if you could convert the local server to foreign group-entries, and then changing the select method, by this way I can easily catch up on whats new on the new server, the groups that are fed ok I just delete from the old server, and keep the ones missing. Any comments? /andy p.s. BTW why do we distinguish between foreign and 'local' servers, why not do all servers (groups) 'foreign'? -- Don't walk in front of me, I might be unable to follow you.
