I'm trying to view the archives of a list. I click on a link to /pipermail/nameoflist. Instead of showing me archives, I get sent to /mailman/listinfo. check_perms and check_db have told me everything is OK. There are no relevant error messages in apache logs. Using 2.1.9. Thanks. ---

2006-09-25 Thread Peter van Dorp
Dear list members, All messages sent to my list are actually forwarded by means of a (single) mail address alias. This means that for each message, the To: address is not the list address; it is a mail alias that relays the mail to the list. As a -- much unwanted -- result, each message is
