Hi, I was trying to delete my new mailing list ([email protected]), however I got an error saying that list name must be 12 or less. I was wondering if anyone know another way to delete it.
Also, let's say if I have [email protected] as my mailing list name. Assumming I have some people registered to the mailing list. How do I send email to all member with the admin account.
I tried to use both email (squirrel adn uebimau) but no success.
You could feasibly delete the list manually assuming you have root access. You would need to remove the files:
/etc/virtual/mydomain.com/majordomo/lists/administrator*
and remove the administrator* entries in
/etc/virtual/mydomain.com/majordomo/list.aliases
and
/etc/virtual/mydomain.com/majordomo/private.aliases
As far as having [email protected] having a problem, make sure that it is getting routed to majordomo and not an alias for that domain. When you say no success what is happening? Also here are few questsion that might help.
Did the email bounce?
Did it go somewhere?
What does your mail log say?
What version of exim?
What version of Directadmin?
Actually, I'm registered to some hosting company. They use this direct admin to manage all files. I follow http://www.site-helper.com/email.html#majordomo to create my mailing list.
However, I didn't find any particular folder belonging to majordomo.
I tried to add some email address manually to the list. However, I don't know how to send an email to all people in the mailing list
How do I set it up so that it is router to majordomo
When I was talking about the majordomo directories, I said assuming you have root access. Only the administrator of that server has root access, since you are an end user then you don't have access to those files. DirectAdmin does have access, but it looks like you may have hit a bug with it (allowing creation of a mailing list 12 characters or more, but not allowing you to delete it). For now, you could ask your host to clean that up for you.
As far as posting to the list, you should just be able to send an email to [email protected] if admin was the name of your list. That should send it to everyone that was added to that mailing list.
