Nope..... MajorDomo is not much more than Perl Script file. It runs on any Unix/Linux system and uses 'getmail' and 'sendmail' It takes all mail recieved for a certain address and sends it back-out to all those addresses listed in a file of the same name. All mail recived at 'arachne.cz' which is addressed to 'arachne' is sent right back-out to all email addresses found in this file. /home/majordomo/lists/arachne All massages received for 'arachne-digest' are first "compiled" into the digest and then the digest is sent to all email addresses in this file. /home/majordomo/lists/arachne-digest This is one of many places to download MajorDomo...... http://www.linuxwebmasterfree.com/majordomo.html -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/ http://www.cisnet.com/glennmcc/aqc/
