I've only been reading this list for a few weeks, so feel free to point me to the archives if this is a well discussed topic. Problem: We distribute a fairly popular list on the Internet from one of our Unix boxes. We would like to gateway the list to Bitnet via our LISTSERV. Currently, the Internet list has two subscription modes: batch and reflected. Mail to [log in to unmask] is immediately distributed to everone on the reflected list, and archived on the home Unix system. I have some automatic mail processing software that digestifies archived messages according to RFC 1134 (?) and posts them to a Unix mail alias which gets expanded to everyone on the batch mode subscription list. Once a night the digest is sent to the batch mode subscribers and purged. Question: Both modes require no interaction on my part. Can I set up a listserv list(s) so native Bitnet users without using Interbit become transparent participants in the list? Every technique I thought of to intermingle subscriptions to the lists resulted either in duplicate postings or partial postings on either the Bitnet or Internet peers. * * * * * * * * * * * * David Avery * BITNET: DAVID@DARTCMS1 * System Manager for VM/CMS * INTERNET: [log in to unmask] * Dartmouth College * SMAIL: Kiewit Computation Center * vox clamantis in deserto * Hanover, New Hampshire 03755 * * * * * * * * * * * * *
