Over the past little while there have been a number of messages sent to the list with the subject line of "Test", or "Testing" or some variation of the like. In my opinion, and I stress that is my opinion, that this not what a list is meant for. Lists are for the sharing of information and not the testing of your mail server and/or client. I suggest that if you are testing to see that all is set up correctly on your Linux box, then set up another user on your Linux machine, and send a test message to it. If you are sending out a message to see if the list is alive or not, because you have not received a message from it in the last 10 minutes, then please don't. Remember, if you are a member of a list, when the list server receives a message, you will be sent that message. Finally, I am sure that if there is a problem with the list, the administrator of the list will let the members know of the problem once it is fixed. Steve Dawes PHONE: (403) 268-5527.
