Hi Carol,

We run about one hundred public mailinglists here and lots of people
change their subscription every day with no trouble. 

The most common problem is that people try unsubscribing a different
address than they subscribed and a bug in Microsoft Outlook that
sometimes messes up the confirmation email.

You emailed the -owner address in October 31st last year and I replied
an hour later but you didn't follow up on my questions so I didn't
revisit the issue.  

I will unsubscribe you manually now.

you really want to put error checking on the close() too.  In many
cases you won't be told until then if the open fails.

I don't think we to make an extra mod_perl list.  Maybe I'll get
around to adding some of the apache.org lists to the perl.org news
server some day, but don't hold your breath - my list of projects is
(too) long. :-)

Yup, just add "site:archive.develooper.com" to your search. :-)

Or write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and your mail will go into

if you had tried writing to [EMAIL PROTECTED] you would have
received instructions that surely would have worked (except if your
setup is broken).  In case you can't get it to work, it would also
have included instructions on how to talk to a human who can help.

Try doing something like 

my @a = qw( ... );
print join "\n", @a, "";

then you can see what happens. 

You wil also see that $variables doesn't get interpolated in
qw().  :)

system (qw( /usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piomisc_ext mkpq_remote_ext -q),
$queue, '-h', "$newhost.$domain.ko.com", qw(-r jfsrvrsap -t bsd 
-d), $qname, "Jetforms NT Server TEMPORARY"); 

would work, but then it's a bit messy. =)

Remember that => can be used instead of a , here, so you could also
do something like,

system ('/usr/lib/lpd/pio/etc/piomisc_ext',  
'mkpq_remote_ext',
    '-q' => $queue, 
'-h' => "$newhost.$domain.ko.com",
...

that's why you'll be better off just always using CGI.pm or some other
modern equivalent.

In the future don't CC both lists, please. I'll have to make a
filter that rejects such mails. :-I

Anyway, your Outlook program munged the confirmation adderss from
the full long one to just "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" which the mail
system obviously don't know what to do with. That's why you got the
message above.

Read the instructions and you'll see that you can send mail like

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(substitute for your bigfoot account name).
