We are a fairly new (local only) LISTSERV site. We would like to create a local mailing list. I have instructions to make the list know to LISTSERV. I LACK instructions to set up the CMS userid for the actual mailbox. Does anyone have any help in this direction? HELEN P. NULTY 315-379-5979 ST.

A LISTSERV mailbox id just has to be a valid user and have a reader to spool things into. We just create a regular user and change the password to something that can't be typed from the keyboard and leave it that way. LISTSERV does all the work. -- David Boyes |The three most dangerous things in the world: dboyes@rice.edu | 1) a programmer with a soldering iron, | 2) a hardware type with a program patch, and "Delays, delays!" | 3) a user with an idea.
