If you are not using SENDMAIL, then it sounds like there is some other config problem w/i LISTSERV or your mailer. >I tried to change the configuration file so that errors go to my e-mail >address specifically (‘Errors-to= [log in to unmask]’as opposed >to ‘Errors-to= Owner’), but that doesn’t make a difference. I know that I >could manually change the templates where it currently reads “&OWNERS” but >I don’t want to have to do for each List. Correct -- ERRORS-TO= is where OWNER-listname@listhost is forwarded. BTW, that's another alias that you will need in SENDMAIL. >Does anyone know if there is a setting where I can specify an e-mail >address for the [log in to unmask] so that it will be valid? listname-REQUEST goes to ALL non-quiet list-owners, but only if: 1) any SENDMAIL aliases are defined correctly 2) end-user responds to challenge that LISTSERV(R) returns as a response to attempted mailing.
