Re: [cobalt-users] Question abt mailing list.



A stupid question about mailing list. I have created a list named "tm" but
i don't know how to send email to the list. Is that i only need to send
email to tm@xxxxxxxxxx ? I tried bt no message received. thx

You're talking about a Majordomo list, right? Set up using the GUI, right?

On a Raq3 (don't know about anything else) a mailing list "belongs" to the site in which you created it -- not the domain. For example, mail to the list would be:

tm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If www's the "hostname" of the site.

Also, I'm assuming that you have created subscribers to the list and that whoever is sending this email (for example, you) is one of those subscribers (unless you configured it to accept mail from non-subscribers).

If you're starting to work with majordomo on the RAQ and haven't seen these, here are two "basic" resources that will at least get your oriented:

The majordomo commands tutorial (this is in many places but...):

http://www.marketing-magic.net/tutorial_majordomo.htm

And just one of the many postings of the cosmically famous Majordomo FAQ:

http://www.visi.com/~barr/majordomo-faq.html

There's also a GREAT mailing list for majordomo users linked from:

http://www.greatcircle.com/majordomo/

So that's a good place to ask questions of any kind or to search archives for past answers. I've found everything I ever wanted to know about Majordomo there.
