I hope I'm not wearing out my welcome, but I have one last question:

I'm attempting to set up a mailing list called '4internet'. I can
subscribe, unsubscribe, etc. but there is one problem: I'm running Open BSD
and I cannot create a user called 4internet (apparently the first character
in the name cannot be a number.) So, I created a user called
'majordomo4int' to act as the user and I defined 4internet (in the virtual
user table) to act as the virtual user that is mapped to majordomo4int. How
do I work it so that the list can still be named '4internet' with
'majordomo4int' functioning as the underlying user that handles all of the
list requests? I would guess that it has something to do with my aliases
file, but I'm not sure. If anybody could offer me any suggestions, I would
greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
