Sorry for not making that clear, earlier....
I think the problem is with MajorCool truncating somewhere along the line,
as I don't get the problem when I use majordomo itself.
For example, here's a restrict_post I set up with majordomo (using
MajorCool to send me the config file, modifying the restrict_post value and
then submitting the new config to majordomo by mail)...
restrict_post = /users/majordomo/Lists/test-list cse-admin cse-cg cse-dsg cse-ig cse-mg cse-staff cse-syscomms
(the above is a single line. Mail readers may well wrap it.)
But here's what I get if I try to set the "long" restrict_post using
MajorCool itself...
restrict_post = /users/majordomo/Lists/test-list cse-admin cse-cg cse-dsg cse-ig cse-mg c
(again, that's a single line)
Is there anything else you'd like me to check out, Bill?
Cheers,
Richard
