Hi Dave, we too are just setting up Listserv Lite on Windows, and you are one step ahead of us, so I'm not sure we can be of help -- just yet I have joined the LISTSERV-LITE list, but it is not clear to me that folks there have time to answer a newbie's questions (yes, I have spent quite a bit of time with the archives and the documentation), so it would be good to find a few folks out there willing to share and help each other, and I'm hoping we might do that for each other (via my behind- the-scenes dh in our case who knows all about stuff like DNS, SMTP and servers). You may already have done this, but in reading the documentation last night, I noticed that the List Maintainer must also be a subscriber of each list in order to mail to it (though, then I suspect you would receive a different reply, not one about DNS and SMTP). >I am in Los Angeles and would be willing to offer premium beer to anyone >that would like to come and fix this. Or if you know the solution I have >an (800) number and would love for someone to walk me through the steps I >am missing. please let me know privately if you need more help, and my dh will contact you privately Molly [log in to unmask] (who is looking for a "few good contacts" to be able to compare notes on with LISTSERV-LITE)
