Yes that exactly what I'm doing, I send the email to listserv, listserv then get my recipient and the other data from my sql server (all that work) and then send it to all the user, and I want all the bounced email to go to a specific place on another server, and be able to put a subject in the mail header and be able too to send multipart email text/html. Can you send me a example wich would work for my solutions if your not to busy. thx Also in a different matter what the difference between LISTSERV and the LISTSERV Maestro because my boss want to buy the product but first I have to make sure it's complete our need but if you tell me that maestro would be better maybe I can talk to them about it. -----Original Message----- From: LISTSERV site administrators' forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Francoise Becker Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 7:19 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Bounced email On 12 Jan 2006 at 19:06, Bruno Robichaud <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > This is what I use to test , thx again Francoise :) How are you sending the DISTRIBUTE job to LISTSERV? Are you sending an email to LISTSERV@yourdomain or are you using the file drop-in method described here in the "Feed Custom Messages" White Paper at http://www.lsoft.com/resources/wp-feed-smtp.pdf ? If you are sending the email to LISTSERV, you don't need the HELO etc. If you're using the file-drop in to essentially have LISTSERV's SMTP workers send mail to itself, then the RCPT TO and the To: need to be LISTSERV@yourdomain and the From needs to be either a POSTMASTER or DIST_ALLOWED_USER in the LISTSERV site configuration (and the PW= refers to that address' password). > // DISTRIBUTE MAIL-MERGE DBMS=YES(EMAIL=SenderAddress)[log in to unmask] Needs a space between ) and FROM= and no // unless the DISTRIBUTE is split over several lines, in which case it needs a "," at the end of each line. The //<space> command , <CRLF>more command is the continuation syntax.
