If it gets you an answer that works for you, this is the right place. <G>

You might want to read through the FAQ, the archives of this list, and
then download the software to a local machine, so you can read any info
that may not have been discussed.

None required if you are moderating/maintaining the list remotely. All
you have to know is how to send a plain text email to the right address.

OK, but you should use the EOF regardless of sig block.

Perhaps your hosting service has something misconfigured.
Or maybe you addressed your message incorrectly. Are you
sending the messages to majordomo@yourdomain or are you
using the XXXXXXX-request@yourdomain address?

Not if your hosting service is using the most recent version
of majordomo, and you received the "accepted" message.

It works here. We don't know what version of majordomo
your hosting service runs. We don't know if they have
done any customization to majordomo. We don't even know
the name of the list to try it ourself and be sure you
are not the one that did anything wrong.
