If you are using Sendmail you will have to set up aliases in your alias file, to pipe mail for the list through the lsv_amin program. There are eight aliases to set up for each list. I don't use the web interface to create lists - I'm guessing perhaps you do, and perhaps you thought it would do that for you automatically, and perhaps it doesn't? > What should I be checking?

That depends on how well it is responding to email to the server. You can mail it a "stop" command, which needs a password. But if you do that and then realize you have a three-hour mail backlog and end up killing -9ing it, it will probably stop again three hours later when it finally processes your "stop" job. :-( Margaret King Michigan State University
