A little investigation reveals that pride@chebucto.ns.ca is actually your so-called "ml-priv" or editors mailing list. This is the list that receives comments from those users/browsers (mostly Lynx) that can respond to the a made link in the header of your web pages, and is by default set up as a communication list for the editors. It is also useful as a mailto address that doesn't change when the list of editors changes. That said, there's nothing in the system that prevents you from using it any other way, such as using it as a "public" mailing list, except that the list gets comments (more or less private) that were made to the page in Lynx, and perhaps occasional messages intended for the editors from the IP committee. So that is the only list which has been created for you. Where do you want to take it from here? It is certainly possible to create a new mailing list. By online volunteers do you mean your editing team, or volunteers in support of your organization's activities? Would it be helpful to have the new list functioning in the role of the editors' list? You could go to the IP section on CCN (go ip in Lynx, or find it under www.chebucto.ns.ca/Services) for more information on our mailing lists. Some decisions would be needed on list configuration, based on how you would want to use it (open or closed, etc.) Ed Dyer aa146@chebucto.ns.ca (902) H 826-7496 CCN Assistant Postmaster http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~aa146/ W 426-4894 CSuite Technical Workshop Religion Page Editor, Chebucto Community Network http://www.chebucto.ns.ca IP - Technical Liaison
