  • TLDR - mailing list

    From Amessyroom@VERT/TL-QWK to digital man on Thursday, December 19, 2024 17:27:19
    Digital Man:

    I belive TLDR mailing list is setup to go into a dove-net message group.

    Can you share how you have that setup? I've never had success with
    using aliases or mailing list on synchronet.

    But would like to create message area based on incoming mail from email mailing list, and/or create a mailing list on my BBS.

    Months past we discussed, and I never got resolved why may aliases would not work except to user 1. But would like to take another look over the holiday, while I have some time to dig into it.

    Sure, I subscribed to the mailing list using a newly created email address (never used before, doesn't belong to a user), then setup an alias in ctrl/alias.cfg:
    somethingunique@mybbs.synchro.net sub:some-sub-board

    I've never had success with
    using aliases or mailing list on synchronet.

    Interesting.

    Creating a mailing list on your BBS is a different thing: https://wiki.synchro.net/module:listserver

    Let us know what you find.
