[html4all] List Serve

[Robert Burns]

Hi John,

Thanks for the compliment, but it was more luck than anything. You'll  
notice I created several other lists and several email accounts in  
the process. And God only knows what damage I did to the list  
settings in the process. But basically here are the problems as I  
understand it. When the list was created it was actually called  
list at html4all.org. However, the list serve was only looking for the  
pre@ part of the name. So it turned that into  
list_html4all.org at html4all.org. So there's a place to enter an alias  
name for the list: "list". Then I think it also wanted to know there  
was an email account on the server with the name "list". So I also  
created an email account with that name.

Basically, every time it received an email form someone, it was  
checking to see if the address they were sending it to was the same  
as the list name (it wasn't). Then it was checking with the host  
(postfix on itself) to see if the account actually existed (and that  
didn't either). But now they do. Next on to the wiki stuff, and I  
think that's going to be tougher.

Take care,
Rob
