Every time, I get a message back from Majordomo saying, "Your request to Majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG ... must be authenticated." This confirms that my requests are properly formed. Once, I misspelled "freebsd" as "freebse" and Majordomo pointed that out instead of replying with the "... must be authenticated" message. I don't ever get the promised message containing the magic authentication string. Since I let the subscribed addresses default, the magic string message must necessarily be sent to the same address that succeeds every time for the "Your request ..." message. Are the lists closed? If so, someone please say so and I'll stop trying. Are they broken? If so, someone please fix them. Am I going wrong somewhere? If so, someone please steer me in the right direction. This is being much more difficult than it ought to be. To the angel who finally helps, thanks. -- M/S 258-5 | 1024-bit PGP fingerprint: | tweten@nas.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center | 41 B0 89 0A 8F 94 6C 59 | (650) 604-4416 Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 | 7C 80 10 20 25 C7 2F E6 | FAX: (650) 604-4377 We each earn what freedom of speech we defend for those who most offend us.
