I am trying to subscribe to a mailing list I created with DA.
I sent an email to the address list [email protected]
with "subscribe" in the body, and the outcome is NOTHING...
 
It seems that it sends an email to [email protected] email
however nothing is received..


PS: I have recalled how to subscribe to a majordomo list
(this is very old) ... however I am still intrigued with the list-owner email issue...
 
That would only work if you had the administriva turned on. That tells majordomo to parse list messages for admin type commands. What you really want to do is to send an email to majordomo@$domainname with the body containing:
Code: 
subscribe $listname $emailaddress

Sending email to [email protected], or to [email protected], where listname is the name of your list, and example.com is your domain name, should forward the email to the username for the site.

If I were you, I'd try testing exim delivery; use the exim -bh construct (search these forums for more details), trying a delivery to the maillistl owner both ways (see above), and see where it appears to try to make delivery. Note that exim -bh doesn't actually deliver any email, but it posts to the screen exactly what it would do if it were receiving email.

What seems to work is to send an email to
[email protected]
And in the body of the message have
subscribe thelistname

This sends a request to add the sending email address to majordomo

Seems to work for all the lists I have.

Yes, that will subscribe you. The question, I thought, was how to send an email to the listname owner.

His original question was:
