[newbie] Email List server
What is involved in setting up a email list server?I have a LM 8.2 machine that is a web/ftp server and I would like to start an email discussion list. I do not have anything for mail running and I don't think I even installed things like sendmail because I had no need for them and did not want to worry about open ports I am not using so I will have to know what software to install also. I don't really want to run an email server but I need the list so help in getting it going and secure is what I am looking for. Thanks,
Re: [newbie] Specifying a hostname
from the replies I got it does not seem to matter though it seems to be a good idea to not use top level domain extensions like .com .net. I named mine eol.lcl and it seems to be fine with it.

Hi Aaron, I would also like the same and if I could set up say a wacky domain name for my Linux box that connects via its modem and a dynamic IP to the internet. I mean could I call it for instance localhome.co.za?

[newbie] Specifying a hostname
What are the "rules" when giving a machine a hostname? The machine in ? does not have an external IP and there is no real hostname to give, as in mandrake.com or something like that I am just going to use it as a "learning box" for setting up web, ftp, Samba, etc. So can I call it whatever I want, does it need to be, something.com?

[newbie] Can not get users web site to come up with Apache and LM 8.1
Hey yall, I have a clean install of LM 8.1 and I can not get my users web sites to come up. When you type the URL http://domainname.edu/~user I get an error telling me I do not have permission to access it. I have done this before and the only thing I can think of is that this time during the install I chose medium instead of low on the security setting because this box is on the net all the time with a static IP running Apache, ProFTPd and SSH. The domain web site comes up fine it is just the users sites that are a problem. I have looked in the httpd config files and it has entries that look to me like it should work but what I know about configuring Apache is just enough to mess something up. Can any of you give me a hand?
Re: [newbie] Can not get users web site to come up with Apache and LM 8.1
Well, in testing after I found it was not working with my personal login I logged in with my test account created the public_html directory, started Netscape Composer typed this is a test and saved it as index.html in my public_html directory I just made. That has always been fine in the past. Does setting the security level to medium change the default permissions to where that will not work? - Original Message - From: Keith Lynn [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Aaron Winters [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 10:08 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Can not get users web site to come up with Apache and LM 8.1 I think your problem may simply be permissions on the files and directories where the pages are stored.
