I've just installed Listserv 1.8d and Lsmtp 1.1b. My goal is to use Oracle8i to maintain the lists and for mail-merge. Right now I'm just trying to get some sample lists entered. The following is the message I sent to my listserv. It was success but did not create it as a table but as a normal .LIST file. PUT SAMPLED LIST PW=abcde * Sample Oracle Distribution List * * DBMS= OCI * Owner= [log in to unmask] * Notebook=No * Errors-To= Owner * Subscription= Open * Ack= Yes * Mail-Via= Distribute I have the following in the site.cfg file. OCI_CONNECT=xxxxdev1 OCI_PWD=zzzzz OCI_UID=emaildba DBMS_DEFAULT_TABLE=* Any comments, questions or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill Hamilton
