Good Morning.
 
Situation 1:
I have some users from England (ac.uk) that have trouble sending msgs
to my list. The reason is that the node that they are sending from will
keep changing from the long format to the short format.
Well what do you mean?
A user sends a message from vax1.agriculture.queens-belfast.ac.uk (subscribed
form). The next day will send another from the same machine, same userid
but the address will appear as agv1.qub.ac.uk. Both addresses are basically
the same. Same machine. Why do they interchange? I have seen it with many
Universities in England. Manchester is another one.
Now I know that I could put both addresses in the list and have one in
nomail status (to avoid duplicate mails). Do you think there is another
way (better) for this situation?
 
Situation 2:
 
Some people have asked me if the could use pine, elm or any other UNIX
based mailer to read the digest file from Listserv. I personally don't
know cause I receive my mail on a VM machine. I have gotten an XEDIT that
will get the digest file and read it as from a mailbook. But is there
any utility that will do the same for a UNIX platform? I believe that
the numbers in the begin of every posting in the digest file might be
confusing the Unix mailers.
Any suggestion to have the UNIX users read the digest file as easy as
possible rthaer than browsing down the file?
 
Thank you in advance,
