I love using Mailman's CLI and it groks badly (as I expected) when I try creating such a list: gw# /usr/local/mailman/bin/newlist women&[email protected]<women%[email protected]> [1] 30621 [email protected]: Command not found. gw# Enter the email of the person running the list: Now, it thinks the part apres the "&" is a command:-) Can Ecartis handle this scenario? I believe one can run Ecartis & Mailman side by side, perhaps. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
