Okay, today was quite the rollercoaster. I finally got an email from
my ISP's Operations group stating that the foo-list-mod email was
working, but when I tried, it didn't work. Bounced just like before.
I called them up, and when I told them it was still bouncing, they
insisted that it was working, and said there was nothing further they
could do for me. At that point, I lost it, and despite a great track
record they had for customer support, I laid into them. It was like
Jekyll turning into Hyde. After stating that the mailing list was
down for 4 days, and that it was still not working, along with a few
other "choice" things I said about their level of support on this
occasion, he said he would find a supervisor and find a resolution to
the problem.
An hour later, I got an email indicating that they had fixed the
problem. Apparently, they created the foo-list-mod under an old
listman sub-domain, rather than the "lists" sub-domain that everyone
is using. Once they fixed that, and foo-list-mod started working.
Given that they were ready to shut the door on this before even
getting the alias fixed (not to mention that he added a blurb about
how they probably should not have supported the request in the first
place), I'm not hopeful that they are going to do anything with the
customization request.
What I think I'll do is just remove the MOD flags on everyone (since
no one knows about the special mod email)(yet). I might start
looking at installing Mailman on my OS X server (which is already
running EIMS 3.3).
In any case, I did have one follow-up question (suggestion, actually,
from a member of my list). In the digests, is there any setting that
is available to *me* that will let me put the digest prolog text
(e.g., "To subscribe..., When replying..., etc., etc.) at the bottom
of the digest instead of the top? As the member stated, they see
this info constantly, but doesn't need to be read often, and it gets
in the way with the front of the digest that they are interested in.
Thanks,
Bill
