I know I missed a step in here somewhere, but I cannot figure out what. I created a new list: PUT ECP-L.LIST PW=MMS@1781 * * Emergency Contraception * * Review= Private * Subscription= By Owner,confirm * Send= Private * Notify= Yes * Reply-to= List * Files= No * Validate= No * Editor = [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask] * Notebook= Yes,/projects/list/ECP,Monthly,Private * Confidential= Yes * Owner= [log in to unmask] (Susan Webb) * Alias file should be updated to include this: ####ECP-L LIST ECP-L: "|/usr/local/bin/lsv_amin /projects/list/spool ECP-L" owner-ECP-L: "|/usr/local/bin/lsv_amin /projects/list/spool owner-ECP-L" ECP-L-request: "|/usr/local/bin/lsv_amin /projects/list/spool ECP-L-request" ECP-L-search-request: "|/usr/local/bin/lsv_amin /projects/list/spool ECP-L-search-request" ECP-L-server: "|/usr/local/bin/lsv_amin /projects/list/spool ECP-L-server" Then go to: cd /projects/list and issue the following commands: mkdir ECP chown listserv /projects/list/ECP chmod u=rwx /projects/list/ECP I added 2 names to the list and sent a test email and got this: An error occurred while logging mail to the archives of the ECP-L list. An incomplete copy of the message might be present in the archive file. The list is being held to prevent further occurrences of this error. Please take corrective action and issue a "FREE ECP-L" command when you want the message to be reprocessed.
