Majordomo can often be a bit of a headache to admin. In my opinion it is a bit too much if all you are doing is managing one or two mailing lists. Just start using +adressing to make your filters more usefull. Also since Nate Tanner has the lists of addresses in a text file he can simply point sendmail at it as a list alias: mylist: :include: /home/path/to/my/list Danny writes: +--------------- | Why aren't you implementing majordomo and some program such as smartbounce | which are suitable jobs for the job. | | Why make your job differcult? | | On Sat, 18 Mar 2000, Tanner Nathaniel-P29665 wrote: | > I have a FreeBSD virtual server that sends out emails to a few different | > lists that people can sign up for on my web site.
