That's an interesting problem - resending mail collected in an archive.
You can grab the mails from the mbox file and copy them off to some
temporary location. The mbox file contains the mail as it would be
stored in a mail spool:
~mailman/archives/private/<listname.mbox>/<listname.mbox>
Once you've isolated the mail, you can create a new alias that contains
the email addresses of the folks you want to send to - this can be a
simple alias in the /etc/aliases file (assuming sendmail as the MTA).
Then resend the mail using formail:
formail -Y -s /usr/sbin/sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED] \
< /tmp/missed_mail.spool
Give that a test run! Hope it works - Jon Carnes
