I can set up users-anythingblah@zsh.org to go to zsh-users-anythingblah@zsh.org and others in about 60-70 seconds. :Also, ezmlm keeps track of who is missing :what messages, and if a message bounce due to temporary errors, it :will notify the receiver about which messages he is messing - these :messages will be numbered in the ezmlm-scheme. There are also questions on what are the current "official" numbers: Date: 28 Jan 1999 09:29:09 +1100 Message-ID: X-Seq: 5069 X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/4970 The message went through both gatech and sunsite.auc so picked up two sets of numbers. Neither is more useful than the other. gatech is now missing messages that get sent straight to sunsite.auc. sunsite.auc has announce and users messages mixed in. :So the best thing would be, if sunsite and the archive did agree on :the numbering. OK, well, if you're willing to make a small change to ezmlm-idx - which won't affect your other lists; the change would allow sublists to have more than one possible parent list - and you're also willing to make some structural changes to the list setup - using five list hierarchies, not three then, yes, a message to announce will have an announce number even when sent to users or workers. And a message to users will have a users number when sent to workers. I'll mail details later. -- Geoff Wing Mobile : (Australia) 0412 162 441 Work URL: http://www.primenet.com.au/ Ego URL: http://pobox.com/~gcw/
