[cobalt-users] [Raq3] Mailing Lists setup - Majordomo (long)

[Patrick Beart <patrick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks:

	Has anyone got experience setting up and administrating 
E-mail lists on the Cobalt RaQ3? I know that Majordomo isn't as easy 
to setup as the RaQ's GUI would seem to suggest. Moreover, there's 
quite a bit of information missing from the GUI interface for Mailing 
Lists.
	I searched the Knowledge Base and skimmed the archives (over 
1300 posts!), but couldn't find the information that I need, so...

	Couple of questions:

1.  I used the list "name" of "pdxbiker" (it's for local Harley 
riders). I'm unclear if subscribers should send E-mail to the list at 
"pdxbiker@xxxxxxxxxx" or to "pdxbiker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx". Which is it?

2. The Majordomo reply message to subscribers seems to be missing 
some info. Here's what I got:

****************

X-Authentication-Warning: tesla.iweb4biz.com: mail set sender to 
owner-pdxbiker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx using -f
To: patrick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
From: Majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: Welcome to pdxbiker
Reply-To: Majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Welcome to the pdxbiker mailing list!

Please save this message for future reference.  Thank you.

If you ever want to remove yourself from this mailing list,
you can send mail to <Majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> with the following
command in the body of your email message:

    unsubscribe pdxbiker

or from another account, besides patrick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:

    unsubscribe pdxbiker patrick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you ever need to get in contact with the owner of the list,
(if you have trouble unsubscribing, or have questions about the
list itself) send email to <owner-pdxbiker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> .
This is the general rule for most mailing lists when you need
to contact a human.

#### No info available for pdxbiker.

*************************

	Why does it way "No info available for pdxbiker" at the 
bottom? Where can I edit this file?

3.  Why doesn't the list message, above, tell people what address to 
send the messages? Where can I edit this information?

4.  When I try to send a message to the list, I get the following Header:

************
Resent-Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2001 00:07:20 -0800
X-Authentication-Warning: tesla.iweb4biz.com: mail set sender to 
owner-pdxbiker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx using -f
X-Sender: pbeart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
X-Priority: 2 (High)
Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2001 00:07:37 -0800

From: Hostmaster <hostmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: Hello list folks!
Sender: owner-pdxbiker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Resent-From: pdxbiker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Resent-Cc: recipient list not shown: ;

********************

5.  Why does the "X-Authentication-Warning" header use the "-f" flag?

6.  Why do the bottom two header lines seem to suggest that I sent 
the message to the wrong address (and that Majordomo needed to 
"Resend" the message)?

	Thanks to all who took the time to read this. Special thanks, 
in advance, to any respondents.
