[**I tried sending this message yesterday, but there seemed to be problems. Please forgive me therefore if it appears twice**]
I am extremely new to all of this - Unix environments, perl etc. However I think I am reasonably quick to learn and have some experience developing applications on toy computers (windows). I am prepared to put in some time and effort, and would enjoy learning something in this area. My situation is as follows: I have recently set up a small mailing list and would very much like to archive it on our website. My ideal solution would be to subscribe a particular address @ our domain to our list, and have Mhonarc automatically pick up any message passing through our mailbox that has been sent to that address. Unfortunately... * We only have rented webspace, though of course with its own cgi bin. Setting up Mhonarc will therefore need to be done manually my end, and the various scripts etc FTPed. * I do not have direct control of our mailbox, but my ISP says it is quite possible them to alias specific mail to a script (but I don't know if this can actually be made to do what I want). What I do know is that they are not going to bend over backwards to help me, so I would have to tell exactly how I wanted this set up. Obviously if someone reading this volunteered to get on a plane, come and give me intensive tutorials for a week and then walk me through this step by step, then that would be great. However, I would be prepared to settle for a nudge in the right direction! First, is this actually possible? In particular, will my ISP be able set up a scenario where Mhonarc is invoked simply by the arrival of particular mail? (If it helps any, my email headers all suggest that they use Postfix, in conjunction with MySQL). Second, I have read all the documentation about installation, FAQ's and even some posts similar to mine (there were some around last September for example), but unfortunately nothing has been directly relevant or comprehensible to me. Is there a resource aimed at complete beginners? Or is it actually not that bad, and someone can give me an answer here without having to write a book? I would be very grateful for any pointers at all, especially any which help me decide whether to jump in and have fun with this, or run fast in another direction!
