Altho I don't have an answer to the original question, I have a related question: Since my university admin wants to automatically give every course/section an email list, and to allow any authenticated student, faculty, or staff to get a list via a web page, I've been wondering if there is a way to avoid adding entries to /etc/alias for each list. Since my Unix LISTSERV will run on a dedicated host, I have been thinking about configuring sendmail to use lsv_amin as sendmail's "local" delivery agent. Has anyone tried that yet? I was assuming that any incoming mail whose "To:" didn't match a defined {listname, listname-request, owner-listname} would be bounced back to the sender by LISTSERV. Is that a bad assumption? -david David R Nessl -- Coordinator, Computer Systems (sysprog/sysadmin) http://www.nerdc.ufl.edu/~david
