RE: [IMail Forum] Configuring ListServes

Please calrify as to what you mean when it goes nowhere.  Does it bounce or not when you send the test message?  Since these are moderated, in order for the post to go out, the moderators must release it.

 

 

More importantly, you have some serious DNS, MX issues.  Go to www.dnsreport.com and take a look.  That needs to be fixed before anything else work.  IF you aren't familiar with this kinda stuff....point your IT guys to it.

There may be several, simultaneous, moderated lists.  The course instructors will moderate forum material for their classes.  Sorry, I should have mentioned that up-front.

Also - I'm looking for the email address to be able to post messages to.  Ipswitch's website document IM-19990623-DM06 mentions posting messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED].  I'm not sure if the domain-name refers to the official host name (email.avila.edu, in my case), the list-server name, or another parameter I'm unaware of.  When I send emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for our IT group to test), it seems to go nowhere.

Thanks for your help.

Is this a moderated list or unmoderated?
