Hello
Before I ask my questions I must first say that I have read the list
owner's manual (listownr.memo fetched from the LSOFT FTP yesterday
night) and also searched today the archives of this list. Unfortunately
all this without a greater success.
I own two lists on a Sparc running Listserv 1.8d. I generally have no
difficulties, however, I have recently encountered two problems, so to
speak.
1) My lists are international, but non-English. Many subscribers don't
know English so that they can't even understand the SIGNUP or
confirmation request messages. So I found it necessary to convert
all the texts the LISTSERV automatically sends subscribers to the
language which is common on the list. I fetched the DEFAULT.MAILTPL
file, translated a great portion of it, and stored back as
listname.MAILTPL.
The manual says, that the form is defined by ">>>", a space, the
form's name, a space again, and then the subject line for the form.
I noticed that this doesn't work for the CONFIRM1 form, which,
eventhough totally translated, still arrives to subscribers with
English subject "Command confirmation request", which doesn't seem
to be defined anywhere inside the DEFAULT.MAILTPL.
The question is: how can I override the default subject line for
such forms as CONFIRM1?
The other question is: the original CONFIRM1 points to a
substitution &INFO. Where is it defined and where I can obtain a
full list of such substitutions (&INFO is not mentioned in the
manual, I think)?
2) In years 1996-2000 I owned a list on a VM/XA running 1.8b. I
remember that that machine used to provide the "STAT" command, which
returned various statistics for the list. Much of this information
didn't seem really necessary, but I seem to remember that STAT also
returned the information about daily traffic on the list (like "12
messages/day" or something like this).
I must say, that I miss this (i.e. the traffic information) on 1.8d,
and the manual doesn't mention any other method for retrieving this
information. The question is: how can I retrieve the information
about average daily traffic on a single list from 1.8d (without
counting posts and days through the entire 6-year archive)?
