Re: [cobalt-users] Majordomo

["Brad Rathbun" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been fighting with Majordomo for the last two days. I went through the
archives and found what looked like the same problem (505 mail rejected,
user unknown). I followed the directions in all the posts I could find on
the subject, it still doesn't work. Finally got mad and gave up for a day or
two. I'm going to go to Reno and drink beer or something. ;^)

It's a Raq3i, about 2 or 3 months old. The list name is staff and the domain
it's supposed to be running on is computechnv.com. I can handle the fact
that it wants me to send it to staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, but it still
doesn't work. I even tried setting up a user named staff on the domain just
to give it a valid address and it still pukes. Strikes me as odd that it
won't accept email for staff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx even when staff is a valid
username. All other addresses on that domain work perfectly - notice mine on
this list. I also changed the name of the list to something that I was dead
sure wasn't in conflict with any other username on the box - staffxxx.
Didn't help at all.

Anyone have any suggestions on what to try next (short of using a baseball
bat on it)?

TIA....

If you email majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx with help in the body of the email you
will receive a list of commands and how to set everything up.

If you create a form on your web site (Front Page makes it easy) and have
the user put their email address in and have the form add subscribe
mailing-list-name (where mailing-list-name is the name of your list) in the
body of the email you can subscribe and unsubscribe from the website. In the
form properties you need to have the email go to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I
have a generic form I can send you off list if you want.

There are settings that make it so users can not send to the list. It is
explained in the help file. We have had great success with majordomo.

Hi,

I've a question. A friend recommended me to use Majordomo instead of a
mailinglist script if I want to realize a newsletter-mailinglist on the
RAQ2. He thinks, depending on the mass of subscribers the newsletter script
would need hours to process it. Good, I know the RAQ2 has Majordomo, but how
can I use it? How can I do so that my visitors on the website can subscribe
via a form to the majordomo list and that just I can send mails to the
subscribers but not the subscribers to the list?

If somebody has an idea then i'd be very thankful.
Daniel
