Are you sure you want to do it this way? In my experience this kind of list tends to wind up being a pain to administer because you're basically doing everything from the mail client, which is the wrong place for it (for one thing, it's difficult to share the list access with anyone else, e.g a TA). If your institution supports it -- and I'd be surprised if Trinity didn't -- you should use the standard mailing list system they have, e.g. Mailman or whatever. It might take a little more setup but you'll thank me in the end :-) poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
