Hi all, I just set up a new listserv (1.8e). The Listserv software owner is "external-listserv". What I did: Install Solaris 9 and patch; Install Apache; Install sendmail 8.13.1; Install Listserv 1.8e; Create a new mailing list; Subscribe users--- then I got the problem. *************** ************************** ***************** ***************** Your message is being returned to you unprocessed because it looks like a LISTSERV command, rather than material intended for distribution to the members of the LISTSERV list. Please note that LISTSERV commands must ALWAYS be sent to the LISTSERV address; if it was indeed a command you were attempting to issue, please send it again to [log in to unmask] for execution. Otherwise, please accept our apologies and try to rewrite the message with a slightly different wording - for instance, change the first word of the message, enclose it in quotation marks, insert a line of dashes at the beginning of your message, etc. ******************* ************************ ********************************** Actually, I can add users from GUI by root. But users can't subscribe to the listserv, even can't send commands "help" and "info" to the server. Any ideas? Thanks, Eric
