Hello subscribers:
I know this is a very stupid question and I am not even sure if I should waste
your time by asking this.
I have been given the responsibility of setting up a mailing list. It needs
to meet the following requirements:
(1) It has to be in a digest form. (Similar to list-managers-digest).
(2) It has to be moderated.
(3) It has to run on a Sun Sparc. I have downloaded the listserver6.0 software
and compiled it.
I would like to have a format for the digest as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Name of the list> <Date> <Volume # : Number #>
Some announcements if any go here.
Then followed by actual e-mail from subscribers after they have been moderated.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have tried setting up the "config" file in the listserver software as follows:
list EVOL-PROG evol-prog@magenta.me.fau.edu owner@magenta.me.fau.edu password nothing
-M -m 50 -e
With this set up I do the following:
-----------------------------------
Each time a subscriber sends an e-mail to the list, it is send to the list owner.
Since the list owner wants to moderate the list and make it into a digest, he saves
it into a file. After a certain number of messages have been saved in the file,
the owner edits this file and then forwards it to the list.
At this point I have a number of problems.
(1) The moderated, digestified list keeps coming back to the owner for moderation
again.
(2) Can I set it up in such a way that the list forwards to the owner only after
it has received a certain number of messages and has put it in a digest form .
Possibly with the format described above.
(3) Am I using the wrong software package?
(4) Any other useful suggestions and ideas arewelcome.
If you think replying to the list is a waste of bandwidth, please e-mail your
suggestions and comments to me at:
saravan@amber.me.fau.edu
Thanks in advance.
Saravan
