We are running LISTSERV 1.8b on VM/ESA 1.1 (CMS 8, SLU 105). I have a list owner who would like to create 'welcome' and 'farewell' files for his list, so I have been attempting to do this with a test list. Based on the information contained in LISTOWNR MEMO and LISTMAST MEMO, I have created a <listname> FILEID file with entries for <listname> WELCOME and <listname> FAREWELL, but, when I attempt to PUT one of these files, the request is rejected. This is the 'PET-L FILEID' file: 1 PET-L WELCOME 00000001 PET-L T1/400 PET-L FAREWELL 00000002 PET-L T1/400 This is what I sent to LISTSERV: PUT PET-L WELCOME PW=XXXXXXXX Subject: Welcome to PET-L This is the "welcome" file for the PET-L list. This is what I received from LISTSERV: File "PET-L WELCOME" is unknown to LISTSERV, PUT request rejected. What am I doing wrong? pdr * -------------------------------------------------------------------- * * Paul Russell * Senior Systems Programmer * University of Notre Dame * * Email: [log in to unmask] * Web: http://www.nd.edu/~prussell * * -------------------------------------------------------------------- *
