Hi, I hope I'm sending this to the right place , i'd be grateful for any
advice, my majordomo-owner doesn't respond to any of my queries.

I've been running two mailing lists with total of about 1800 subscribers
on ezmlm for about 3 yrs now, and it's all been working pretty well.
Now the support people are shutting down one server and moving to
another and will be moving the lists to majordomo, the lists are now up
and running in test mode and I'm trying to learn how to maintain them.

I'm on a Windows nt 4 workstation using Outlook express and Netscape
Comm.    I'll probably write some html pages to do most of the list
maintenance, sending messages with netscape.   I have activeperl
installed and mhonarc running successfully to archive posts into web
pages.   I have almost no experience with Unix.

================================

newinfo list password

  Change the text in the "listname.info" file (the text a user
  receives when they mail an "info" command or subscribe to the
  list).  The text is taken from the rest of the mail message until a
  line with the three upper-case letters "EOF" at the start.

==============================


I sent the command above (I didn't bother with eof because I don't use a
sig.)

I got the message New info for list xxxxxxxxx accepted


Then I sent info XXXXXXXXX

to check if the new file was there ok.


and got #### No info available for xxxxxxxxxx

Is ther some issue with having a space after the pw?
I can't figure out what's happening.

regards
