Scott,
Thanks for the reply. I can't tell you how much I
appreciate your assistance.

>That's the problem. You had no such address. IMail
assumes that you have
such an address (sending it to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
or even
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]").
> It then sets things up behind the scenes to get
the E-mail to you. But, one of the things it does is
sets up an address
that is used for bounce messages and the like. It
doesn't use *your*
address, as nobody wants everybody to see their own
address, when a special
list address can be used. So it uses
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
I took your advice but this still seems wrong to me
and here is why. Imail's help says that the list
owner is where the subscribes go to. I created an
email box called [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only valid for
my system) and I specified it as the list owner.
Imail created an alias called my-list-owner that
resolves to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Now, if I send a "help" command to the list owner
which is [EMAIL PROTECTED] imail happily sticks
the email into that user mailbox just like it would
for any email. It is never processed by the list
processor at all. If I send an email to
my-list-owner, the special alias Imail automatically
set up, because that alias resolves to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] it sticks the email into that
mailbox and is never processed by the list processor.
>Can someone to me what the my-list alias should
resolve to and what the
>my-list-owner should resolve too?
>You don't need to know. All you need to know is that
you can't use an
address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". If you obey
that rule, everything
will work.
I obeyed that rule and had the problem I mentioned
above! It would really help to know what these alias'
should resolve to.
Near as I can tell the list-owner alias should resolve
to a program such as: imailrv mydomain.com my-list.com
That is the list processor program, right, and it
needs to be what receives the subscribe/unsubscribe
commands, right?
Here is where I'm confused - the list owner address
specified on the general tap is where the email will
go when someone on the list clicks reply - which means
it also needs to somehow resolve to the imailsrv
program.
I know it appears I may be making too much out of a
simple thing, but trust me, imail is doing screwy
things and if someone can tell me what these alias'
should resolve too, which accounts are an alias versus
a normal mailbox and how the digest email gets into a
mailbox - then I'm sure I could fix this thing!
Thanks again!
