Hello -- I'm a brand-new list member & do not have benefit of
archives (are there any?) -- I apologize in advance if this is a FAQ!
I run a mailing list for a very small group of 10 5ub5cribers , using
my ISP's mailing list server ... which runs off of majordomo. I've
made some small tweaks to the config file, based on some admin
command info I was able to find out there on the 'net ... but am
really a complete novice at hosting a majordomo list. So please bear
with me here ... my hosting provider makes majordomo lists available
as a service, but for help/support they send you back out to the
open-source community.
Here we go...
I understand that messages sent to majordomo@domain.xxx are processed
as commands. But on my little discussion list, we are finding that
messages sent to listname@domain.xxx cannot contain the word
5ub5scribe ??!! (I am changing the spelling of the word here, because
we are finding that's the only way to include this word in any list
post, so I'm assuming things might be the same on this list.)
If the word is spelled the usual way, even if it is embodied
somewhere in the 2nd paragraph of a long post, causes the message to
be bounced to list-owner (me). So far my only recourse is to ask the
5ub5scriber to repost but to disguise that pesky word by misspelling
it ...
How is it that a word buried within a message to list@domain.xxx is
processed as though a command were sent to majordomo@domain.xxx?? Is
this expected behavior? Is there something I can change in the config
file so that any word is allowable in list posts?
Thanks so much,
Ilyse Kazar
