Greetings...
Earlier this year, a friend of mine set up majordomo on his company's
machine and allowed a group of us to start our own mailing list for free.
I became the list-owner, in charge of mail bounces and subscriptions.
A couple of months ago, my friend moved away leaving no one at his company
with extensive knowledge on Majordomo. Not privy to the problem, our
mailing list continued on its merry journey. About a month ago, we had
some problems and the list was accessible to non-subscribers. When I
asked the new contact at the ISP to fix it, he tried and the mailing list
went down for two weeks. Figuring the problem would never be fixed, I
began looking for solutions. With the help of the Majordomo FAQ and
User's Manual, I wa able to get us back on-line.
Now the ISP says they simply don't have time to maintain the list so it's
up to me. They even set me up with an FTP account so I could access the
relevant files for our list. I have access to download any of the
Majordomo files, but I only have access to upload into our subdirectory.
This is working well. If I do not have proper access, I simply diagnose
the problem and send a cookbook fix-it method to the ISP. They promptly
process the request.
Now, if you're still with me, here's the problem. We would like to create
a separate mailing list for a digest of our list. I know I do not have
the privileges to see this through. However, if I can construct the files
and another cookbook method for setting this up, I'm sure the ISP will
gladly do it.
Is there anyone out there willing to help me here? I have been reading
the relevant parts of the FAQ and User's Manual and I understand most of
it, but I am still a novice at best. If you are ready and willing to help
me out, please e-mail me at gnesmith@bugs.uark.edu or the address in my
signature.
Thanks for your time,
GN
