I've set up a basic mailing list under MMDF. There's a main alias for sending mail to the entire group (blue-sky), an outbound alias that re-routesd the incoming mail to all members of the list, and an alias for the list maintainer (blue-sky-request). The /usr/mmdf/alias.list file looks like: blue-sky: blue-sky-outbound@list-processor blue-sky-outbound: </usr/mmdf/lists/blue-sky blue-sky-request: dlucy Okay, all's well so far. When mail is sent to "blue-sky", everybody in the file /usr/mmdf/lists/blue-sky gets a copy of the mail. When someone mails to "blue-sky-request", it comes to me (dlucy). Now, I want to archive ALL the incoming mail in a file. No problem, the manual (SCO's) says to add a line ending in: "mmdf//usr/mmdf/lists/bs-archive" So I merrily add: blue-sky-archive: "mmdf//usr/mmdf/lists/bs-archive" Which works fine for archiving the incoming mail when the primary alias (blue-sky) is changed to: blue-sky: blue-sky-archive, blue-sky-outbound@list-processor HOWEVER, the mail nevers goes to ANY of the users! I've tried many combinations of aliases on the same line, actual commands instead of aliases, USER alias lists pointing to both outbound and archive, with no success. It seems I can either mail to everyone on the lists *OR* keep a copy of all incoming mail, but not both. Anyone have any ideas? Do *YOU* run a mailing list using MMDF? Do you archive the inoming mail? Please let me know how you do it... BTW: We're using MMDF as it comes in SCO Unix 3.2.2. Thanks in advance -- [ W.
