Wegen ein paar technischer Probleme noch einmal:

Hello, 
I have got a problem with pegasus mail 3.1 (r1a) on a novell. I
have a special account (address) which I want to use only as a
distribution- list, i.e. all mail sent there shall be distributed to
several other addresses internet-wide. I do have created a list under F6
with all the addresses and I do have external-features-rights, namely
autoforwarding. I also can insert the list into the two
autoforwarding-fields by pressing F6 and selecting the list. It is
inserted there.=20

BUT: When I send a message to that address, I always get an error-message
back, telling me the following: 550 <@ ....list.pml> ...Host unknown: A
system call received a parameter that is not valid.=20

This message apparently comes not from pmail, but from the mail-service.
But it looks like pmail doesn't substitute the lists' name with its
contents, but triesto send the mail to an address of the lists' path and
name.=20

What do I do wrong?=20

When I call online-help (F1) in the autoforward-address-field, I get told
that I *may* give a list, but that it has to be in a publicly addressable
directory. So it is. I even referred from using drive-letters (H:\mail...)
and set up the path by using the volume name (UNIHH_FB06_CIP/SYS:\mail
...), because the autoforward is to be executed when the account is not
logged on, otherwise I could have used the filtering rules.=20

Does anyone have an idea?=20

Please answer (also) by e-mail to koerber@erzi.erzwiss.uni-hamburg.de

Thank you very much.

Andreas Koerber
