Hello... I have followed the directions and now have a working evaluation copy of listserv running under Solaris 2.5.1, x86. Problem I'm having is I don't seem to understand how to create a mailing list. I use the example and mailed (from the postmaster acct described in go.users) the following to the listserv (yes, my CREATEPW in go.users is still the default 'XXXXXXXX', so sue me ;) ) : PUT LIST1 PW=XXXXXXXX * * My First LISTSERV mailing list * * Review=Public Subscription= Open Send= Public * Notify= Yes Reply-to=List,Respect Files= No * Stats= Normal,Private Validate= No * Notebook=Yes,A,Monthly,Public * * Owner= [log in to unmask] * * PW= list1 The server then returns the following: 27 Jul 1997 01:58:14 Processing file 0058 from [log in to unmask] 27 Jul 1997 01:58:15 From [log in to unmask]: PUT LIST1 PW=XXXXXXXX 27 Jul 1997 01:58:15 To [log in to unmask]: This server does not have any file by the name "LIST1 PW=XXXXXXXX". 27 Jul 1997 01:58:15 Sent information mail to: [log in to unmask] I have manually created a 'list1' directory in the listserv root directory, mode 755 and owned by the listserv user. I have done the same in the LSV~/home directory, as well. Neither appear to work. I would truly appreciate any help over this little glitch. I fear that there is something simple I am over-looking, as this is my first experience on this side of a listserv! Thanks a bunch! -- Hudson
