hi, I want to use Listserv 1.8d to maintain a japanese list. The text mailed will be essentialy Japanese. Are there any issues here ? For mail merge, is it necessary to use LSMTP ? no way can i do it with LISTSERV alone ? My understanding of an SMTP server is that it just sends mails. How does then Listserv receive mails, when using LSMTP and when not using it ? Once you have installed everything, how do you create the Admin id and password ? Isn't the POSTMASTER in the site.config administrator of some sort ? How does he get his password ? through email ? please note that i want to use the web interface only. rohit ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
