I've checked the archives for a solution to this problem, but I can't seem
to find an answer. I'm fairly new to LISTSERV as well, so any help would
be appreciated.
The Dept. of HUD wants to set up mailing lists so that they will be used as
"announce-only" lists to disseminate newsletters to non-HUD employees. The
owners of the lists will, however, be HUD employees.
I used the web interface to create an "announce-only" list header for each
list and set the owner of the list to be a HUD employee:
* Subscription= Open,Confirm
* Validate= Yes,Confirm
* Review= Owners
* Send= Editor,Confirm
* Reply-To= Sender,Ignore
* Sender= None
* Errors-To= Owner
* Auto-Delete= Yes,Full-Auto,Probe(10)
* Notebook= Yes,/home1/archives/test-l,Monthly,Private
* Owner= [log in to unmask]
* Editor= [log in to unmask]
* Filter= Also,Allow,[log in to unmask]
Notice the last line that I added to make sure that the owner could post
and subscribe himself. Do I need to do this?
I've set up the go.user file (Unix-based system) to include the FILTER_ALSO
control variable as follows:
FILTER_ALSO="*@HUD.GOV"
so that I can prevent HUD employees from posting and subscribing to all
lists.
However, when the owner posts a message, a problem occurs during the
confirmation process as follows. The owner does not receive any response
and the subscribers do not receive the posting. Instead, the Site
Maintainer (me) gets a message as follows. What does "mail origin seems to
be a mailer" mean and who is the "mailer"? This process works if I remove
the filters in both the header and the "go.user" file. [Also notice that
the original posting gets through, but the "OK" confirmation does not.]
The enclosed message, found in the LISTSERV mailbox and shown under
the spool
ID 0148 in the system log, has been identified as a possible delivery
error
notice for the following reason: mail origin seems to be a mailer.
