I also got SmartList, the accompanying mailing list package of scripts, C programs and procmail recipes, to build and list creation and subscriptions, and mail distribution seems to be OK, except the recipes and scripts which should be linked aren't linked and I sometimes have file locking problems. Why is it necessary to rename LN=ln to cp? I have to run the pre-built fetchmail from the above site to download the mails but ssmtp sends the distributed mail back out automatically. I hardlinked a sendmail to ssmtp. -- Greg Matheson Chinmin College Taiwan -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
