     Andy please bottom post as it makes following questions/answers
much
easier when looking in the archives.

    You didn't say which version of IC you're using so I'll guess/assume
4.9
something.
Look around for a link 'Tables'   Should be in the top of the page.
Then
scroll down
to the bottom and you should see the mv_metadata link. Second page from
there
you should see the userdb::mail_list

Hi Jon,

I don't know what version of IC it is, it is my ISPs install so I have
no idea what they have put on their server.

I cannot find any link to 'tables', at the top of the admin page I only
have the headings listed in my post above.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Andy.
