Re: [ezmlm] lock: file does not exist
If you do not have the ezmlm-idx patch applied you may try xargs ezmlm-sub /path/to/list adress.txt This works! But none of the examples mentioned before. And I *have* the idx patch: $ rpm -qa |grep ezmlm ezmlm-idx-mysql-0.53.324-1 Strange...?

Re: [ezmlm] lock: file does not exist
Okay... It seems my problem was due to use of switches I didn't need and not really understanding what I was doing :) Still I have two questions about ezmlm: 1) how do I add a bunch of addresses to a list (locally or remotely)? I tried 'ezmlm-sub /home/test/lists/testlist temp' where temp was a file that contained a bunch of addresses, but that did not work. 2) how do I delete a list (just rm away the .qmail files and the list dir?) Cheers, Peter

Cheers, Peter Let me rephrase that, try cat temp | ezmlm-sub /home/test/lists/testlist 1) thats the same like 'ezmlm-sub /path/to/list adress.txt' but wastes more system resources by creating the process environment for cat. the contents of the textfile go to stdin of ezmlm-sub in both cases and this is actually what you want. do you have fully qualified email adresses in your sourcefile? could you please doublecheck your sourcefile for invalid email adresses? 2) sounds reasonable. you might try something like --- cd ~listuserid mkdir .disabled mv .qmail-listname* listname .disabled --- which actually allows you to revive it again or browse the archives if they exist. to stop servicing the list you could simply rename the corresponding .qmail-listname* files to let's say .deactivated-listname* /k where temp is a file containing an email on each line HTH -- Peter Farmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Engineer blueyonder - http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/ -- Anxiety, n.: The first time you can't do it a second time.
