Well, I think I found a bug in listserv. Ofocurse I suspect that I now
get a reply that it is a 'feature' or that my mailsoftware isn't conform
the standard or whatever. Doesn't matter : it still doesn't work for me.
I'm a co-listowner of blues-l ([log in to unmask]), and this
Thanksgiving weekend was supposed to me my first attempts at being a
listowner. Well, I just realized that I can still post to the list, but
not as a listowner anymore ! Or at least in a certain configuration ...
- Browmvm.brown.edu run listserv 1.8b (I know it isn't the lates version
...)
- my email-adres is [log in to unmask], which is an alias to
[log in to unmask]
- dinf.vub.ac.be is both my pop-server ([log in to unmask]) and my
smtp-server
- the listname is [log in to unmask]
- the listserver is ofcourse [log in to unmask]
When I use Eudora 3.0 Pro on Windows NT, I can post to [log in to unmask] When I
send "query blues-l" to listserv@, I get the correct reply. This is part
of the header generated from this machine :
> X-Sender: [log in to unmask]
> X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0 (32)
> Date: Fri, 28 Nov 1997 18:31:42 +0100
> To: [log in to unmask]
> X-UIDL: 880738397.000

The error-messages from listserv@ are directed to [log in to unmask]
(the 'From'-line)
However, I am the administrator of several Unix-boxes, NT's, PC's and
Macs. So it can happen that I have to use other software to read and
send my mail. But all of them are configured to use the same
email-address, pop-accounts and smtp-server. So that shouldn't be a
problem, right ?
When I use Netscape 4.0 on Solaris 2.6, I can still post to [log in to unmask]
However, when I send "query blues-l" to listserv, it answers me 'You are
not subscribed to the BLUES-L list.' Huh ? This is part of the header
generated on this machine :
> Sender: [log in to unmask]
> Date: Fri, 28 Nov 1997 18:46:44 +0100

The error-messages from listserv@ are directed to [log in to unmask] (the
Sender), NOT to Jo.Hermans.vub.ac.be (the From). And this is the real
reason of the error !
The only difference of any importance is the 'sender' field, which
contains my pop-account. But Eudora uses 'X-Sender', and Netscape uses
'Sender'. This doesn't cause any problems with posting to the list, but
when you send something to listserv@ (even doing a query), it chokes.
Any ideas ?
PS : I'm currently still using sendmail 8.7.3 on dinf.vub.ac.be (my
smtp-server), but I'm testing sendmail.8.8.8 on other systems (I'll
swithc next week). But they give me the same result. It's not my
sendmail-configuration who is causing this.
