	I just set up a mailing-list and have been interested in the recent 
thread on MAILSERV and command access. The recent info on the mapping file 
seemed helpful until I tried to implement it. I'm running PMDF 4.1 on VMS 5.4
with dead simple non-compiled pmdf.cnf file (Single off campus Multinet 
Channel). Can somebody please point me at the correct documentation, section 
3.4.1 Locating and Loading the mapping file - says "This file is read once 
during program initialization and loaded into an internal string table."  
Unfortunately this doesn't make sense to me. I have created a mappings file 
which is pointed to by pmdf_mappings_file but the contents do not seem to 
affect the behaviour of my mailserv. 
	I do have the mailserv working as far as subscribe, unsubscribe and 
use of the mailing list goes but I am trying to get send/list and subscribe 
for a third party working for sysop types.

	thanks inadvance,
