Hello Everyone,

We are planning to terminate our Masters Forum majordomo = list which is private (members only added by someone with Admin = privileges).

Is it possible to set up a type of "out of = office" auto email so that if folks try to email the list, they = will receive a custom email "reply"?

We would like to have this occur for several = days preceding the last day of the list, and if possible, for a few days = after the list is terminated.

·       days preceding the last day of the list - custom = "reply" would notify how many days left before list is shut = down and URL for instructions on how to join the list on its new = platform.  Would the custom "reply" go directly and only = to the person posting to the list (this is what we'd prefer), or would = it be distributed to the entire list?

·       days after the list is terminated - custom = "reply" would provide URL for instructions on how to join the = list on its new platform.  We could unsubscribe all members but = keep the list "active", if that would allow us to have this = type of custom auto-reply notice.

Can someone please guide available options in Majordomo? =

thanks and
regards,
Vikas

You could maybe use a variant of the vacation script to generate the auto response ? I guess a straight vacation would respond to domo or daemon not original sender. Hence need for a custom variant filter.

I know of none through majordomo. However, a variation on your request should be available through the vacation auto-responder, if you are using a Unix-like operating system. Any solution I might suggest is probably outside of the list scope, but I'd be happy to give you a few pointers off-list. Respond to me privately if you'd like my assistance. -- Palindrome of the day: Evil I did dwell, lewd did I live. finger://ephemeron.org/bigby http://www.ephemeron.org/~bigby/ irc://irc.ephemeron.org/chat news://news.ephemeron.org/alt.lemurs PGP communication fingerprint: 63D4 1015 699D 710E 5E11 01E8 F0E1 3F26 CDD6 5138 PGP signing fingerprint: 9366 4B8E 29A5 72E4 F39A F7E5 52CD 4230 291B 91AC
