I have a somewhat odd problem with some of my majordomo lists. I'm the
owner of three lists, and on two of them while I am subscribed to them I
don't receive mail from them. I don't have root privilege or any such, and
I'm not familiar with where to go digging in any case.
At the risk of boring you, I'll tell the tale in chapter and verse so as to
make everything clear from the beginning.
We moved to a new service provider specifically because our previous
provider had list software problems which they couldn't solve. We chose a
provider who had majordomo.
They set up one list for me, called hg-domo. This list worked perfectly,
and still does. I can subscribe to it, send mail to it, and receive the
mail from other list subscribers. So far so good.
They set up two more lists for me, called hg and otm. I have access to
them, can change the config files, etc. I can subscribe to the list, and
send mail to the list, and other subscribers receive it. However, none of
the mail from the list ever reaches me. (I have another account at a
university which is subscribed, and can read the list there, which is the
only way I know that it works this way.)
I have even tried subscribing an address on another domain which has a
forward to this account. Mail from the list to that account also
disappears, even though other mail to that account gets here properly.
I've brought this problem to the attention of the sysadmin, and he/she
doesn't understand how it can be. He/she said that the only parameters
they set up are the list name and the password, that everything else is in
my hands.
I've studied the config files of the three lists, and they all look
basically the same.
Can anyone explain to me what is going on and (more importantly) how I can
fix it? Thank you for your help.
Alden
