The mailman page for the list exists, the mbox file exists Any thoughts on what went wrong and how to fix it? (just happens to be the iss-directors list) What is your MTA? How does it know about lists? Does it use aliases? Are aliases installed for the failing list? Does mail to the list get delivered? What is the exact error message from the SMTP server? -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
