Greetings all As you may have gathered from the subject of this message I'm running Listserv Lite 1.8d on a Windows NT 4 SP5 server. In fact I have inherited this server and listserv and I'm having a number of serious problems. I must also admit that in the past I administred a number of lists using mercury on a Netware box - life was easier then... So the first thing I did was to fire up site.exe and change the postmaster to my email address and change the password. Then I stopped and restarted the service of listserv & listserv-smtp on the NT server for the changes to take effect. After that I attempted to add users to one of the high-use lists we have for staff in this school. - I was promply informed that I was not the owner of that list. So, being a bit of a hacker (NOT Cracker) I had a look in the .LIST file for the list in question and edited the owner portion of it so that it was my email address instead of my predecessor. Now if I run: lcmd \\ourserver show lists I get this lovely response quite a number of times; >>> Error X'00280073' opening file C:\LISTSERV\MAIN\AS_STAFF.LIST <<< -> Severity: Error -> Facility: LFxxx routines -> Abstract: Internal file structure corrupted -> I/O mode: Record read Please help me out of this. I need to: 1) take control of all the lists 2) repair the corruption in the as_staff list 3) add and remove users as necessary - this is becoming critical Thanks in advance Marco
