Hello! I am working on a project to convert our mailing lists to DBMS. I
have a testlist that I have set up that appears to be using the DB properly.
ListServ created the table and I was able to subscribe myself to the list.

I have two questions so far.....

The next step (I think) is for me to start sending some test messages to
create an interface for our editorial staff to be able to send emails. I am
confused on how to do this. It looks like I should be using DISTRIBUTE Jobs
for this. Anyone have a template that they can show me on how to do this? I
have the Manuals printed out but I don't think I am understanding it.....

Second, we have several lists that I will eventually be converting. Should
we be storing them all in the same table? How do you pull out with a query
say all the subscribers to TESTLIST?

I think I can get the users imported easily enough after getting the list
from the old non-dbms lists.

thanks for any pointers and guidance a a "green" listserv Admin!
