I have a problem trying to set up a mailing list on an HP9000/835, here's what I'm trying to do: in the /usr/lib/aliases file, I add some lines like: music-gods: :include:/users/joe/maillists/music-gods music-gods-owner: music-gods-request music-gods-request: joe and in the file /users/joe/maillists/music-gods, an everchanging list of subscribers to the list. The question is, why am I getting errors to this alias, and how can I do this, short of setting up a dummy account with a .forward file. Bob

I assume that your mailing list file is readable and in a searchable directory, and that you've run 'newaliases'. Rob
