> I am running FreeBSD 2.0.5 with a POP3 mail server.  What is the best way to define a mailing list so that if I send a message to group@zyga.com for example, the message would go to member of 'group'?  Thanks in advance for the help.


the best way?  well, that depends how many list u want; as well as
how often does the member list file has to be modified.

The easiest way is, of course, setting up another account with no valid 
shell, and put all the addresses in ~newaccount/.forward

another easy way for doing this is to put all the address as an alias entry in
/etc/aliases

another way, prolly a more elegent one, would be to make an alias file,
and modify /etc/sendmail.conf to add the alias file to ur sendmail
aliases.

I have Majordomo running on Ngbert.org, and using Majordomo is prolly the
best way if u don't have time for list management, or if u have
multiple lists.

hope this helps...
