- X-Gateway-Source-Info: Mailing List
-
- We are running MX 3.1C on a standalone VAX with JNET and TGV Multinet; we've
- been using MX's routing features quite happily for over a year, but now we're
- trying to set up a mailing list for the first time. I must be doing something
- incredibly dumb, because I just can't get things to work. Here are the
- commands I've used to set up a test list:
-
- DEFINE LIST "MYTEST" -
- /OWNER=("gadsden@lp.musc.edu")-
- /NOMODERATOR-
- /REPLY_TO=(LIST,SENDER)-
- /ARCHIVE=USER2:[GADSDEN.MXTESTL] -
- /NOADD_MESSAGE -
- /NOREMOVE_MESSAGE -
- /NOFORWARD_MESSAGE -
- /DESCRIPTION="Test List" -
- /ERRORS_TO="gadsden@lp.musc.edu" -
- /PROTECTION=(SYSTEM:RWED,OWNER:RWED,GROUP:RWED,WORLD:WE)
-
- Once the MYTEST list is defined, a test user has no problem using mail to
- MX's LISTSERV address to subscribe, review, signoff, etc.
-
- However, any mail sent to the MYTEST-REQUEST address bounces (MX tries
- to deliver it through the LOCAL interface rather than passing it to MLF).
- Likewise, any mail the test user sends to the MYTEST address bounces.
- It doesn't seem to matter if the test user's mail to MYTEST-REQUEST or MYTEST
- originates in VMS Mail on the VAX, or arrives via smtp. It gets bounced
- either way.
-
- What in the world am I doing wrong?!?
