I used add_members to load a text file containing a list of email addresses. Who knows what happened! It looks like most of those over 30 characters got truncated. I very well could have just screwed up somewhere... I'm just going to pump the ones that I think bounced back in and rely on th

[Mailman-Users] Variations on Reminders?

2001-11-08 Thread Jo Brooks
Are there plans to extend the reminders capabilities, possibly something that would send out quarterly reminders to the list owners? There seems to be a tendency to let lists languish unused...for years...and if they are reminded (say 2 or 4 times a year), maybe they'll send in a request to dec

Thanks for all the help regarding backing up a list member list. However, I've just discovered that my lists are down due to some unknown (to me) error. Last successful posting was more than a week ago... just about the time ColdFusion was installed on my server. (possible culprit) When executi
