If, in your list header, you have ACK set in your default-options, then each subsequent subscriber will get that option set in their subscription options.  This will not retroactively affect any current subscribers; you will need to adjust the subscribers’ options to effect that change.

 

You can also set ACK= YES in your list header.  This will send an ACK message to senders of the list who are NOT subscribers ie. those listed via SEND= or OWNER=.

Subject: Setting up LSOFT to send a confirmation message to a sender?

 

Hello all,

 

Can someone help me figure out how to configure the listserv to send a confirmation message to a sender so s/he can know that the message they sent to a listserv actually was distributed to that list's subscribers?

 

And in that vain, must a sender be subscribed in order to receive the kind of confirmation message I am describing above?

 

Also: I have my lists manually set up to ACK, but that doesn't seem to always work. 

 

I know very little about the LSOFT software, and I find the documentation incredibly dense and difficult to wade through to find what I am looking for. I am a very "beginner" level user, so if you have any help to offer please keep that in mind.

 

Thanks so much,

Tara
