I'm running a confidential list with sub by Owner on v1.8d. I'd like to set up the ADDREQ1 and SUB_OWNER templates to send out a questionaire to any request not coming from uga.edu addresses. According to the online manual: "Starting with LISTSERV 1.8d the operators =* and ^=* are available to perform wildcard matches in conditional blocks. For instance [log in to unmask] =* J*DOE@*EXAMPLE.COM is a true statement. The wildcard specification is on the right-hand side whereas the actual text (or variable) you are evaluating is on the left." But when I use the following in my MAILTPL .* section for uga addresses .bb &whom =* *@*.uga.edu Your request to join the &LISTNAME list has been forwarded to the list owner for approval. If you have any question about the list, you can reach the list owner at &OWNER. .eb .* section for NON-uga addresses .bb &whom ^=* *@*.uga.edu .to &WHOM A copy of the &LISTNAME membership questionnaire has been sent to you. Please read it carefully and follow the instructions to complete it and return it to the list owners. .eb I get the following error: >>> Error in line 37 of la.mailtpl: extraneous data in expression - ".uga.edu" <<< -> .bb &whom =* *@*.uga.edu <-
