I am a member of at least 10 lists, i make my living on the internet,
and now in the process of doing a few lists for myself and hosting for
others.
Now what i dislike worse than a test message is the many meaningless
replies to them.. think about it, you get one note from a guy that wonders
if the list is working, then you get 3 or 4 guys that got to reply to it,
why?
if you have 500 members, now you have 1500 or 2000 extra sends to to the
list
all just so a few guys can flex there index finger.
how would i filter the meaningless replys to such notes which cost me more
than
the original test note?
if the test message is such a mind blowing issue then let us figure out a
configuration command that will grab the test message and send a reply to
the
sender outside of the list, in the same way that you can grab a bounce and
put it in file/list to be sent a test message??
this would be a kind/community act and help the person looking for
confirmation
of the lists operational-ability...
another pet peeve of mine is Spam, yours too, but what IRKS me worse is the
99 replies
to the spammer to a list, why can not the community members write the
spammer in person?
how can i filter the replies to the spammer? which cost me now 99 x 500??
And i also sent a question to this list asking for a little configuration
help, i got
a couple "smart comments" but not advice or help, the reply to the test got
more
response than a plea for help...
i have scoured the internet for help, read all the online manuals, and they
are all standard
clips and copies of the same manual.
in closing may i ask ....
will DList commands work in majordomo?
