Yes. Check the FAQ. There is a post-only or newletter style setup in there. And not having the mail server off-line 12+ hours will work, but its inconsiderate to the other mail server admins on the net. What your doing is letting mail to be delivered to your host backup on others servers. But its your call. If that's all you can do, that's all you can do. If your not a high traffic server, it shouldn't be too much trouble. But some servers send a bounce message after 4 hours of the message not being delivered. So thoes can get annoying if your down 4+ hours at a time. -- Matthew Davis http://dogpound.vnet.net/ In computer science, we stand on each other's feet. - Brian Reid ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [email protected] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
