I'd like to close a mailing list and have all posters receive a message with a subject like "This mailing list has moved to [email protected]" and a more expansive explanation in the body, followed by the body of their message. I tried to do this in rc.local.r00 (which is enabled): :0: | formail -rtk -I "Subject: This list has moved to [email protected]. Contact [email protected] with questions." This would have only changed the subject, but it didn't seem to work anyhow. I didn't find anything about this as an explicit FAQ, but I was trying to use the pattern of 4.8: "How to bounce messages with a certain word in the subject." I couldn't find a way of searching the archives of this list without downloading 5MB of traffic. Would anyone suggest a recipe which would do all this? Is this a good method in the first place to deal with a closed list? Are there any better ways of dealing with it? Thanks for your help and suggestions. -Kevin Zembower ----- E.
