Try to send a message to the list or maybe send a message with subject "help" to the list-request address. >Also, I followed a discussion on another forum where a new user reported >having problems with OS X Server in regards to archives.

Try running sudo /usr/share/mailman/bin/check_perms -f If it runs cleanly (don't worry about the warning about archives/private being world searchable) logging and archiving should work. Also make sure your list's Mailman web admin Archiving Options -> Archive messages? setting is Yes. >He also mentioned something about making the list private so >that its contents wouldn't be search, found and indexed by search engines >like Google.

On the same Archiving Options page set archive_private to private, and yes, if archive_private is public, the archives are world accessible via the web (at least assuming the host is reachable), and will be indexed in search engines. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
