we have a massive problem with the W32.Sircam.Worm@mm. I want to temporarily close the lists we have...what's the best way???
Comment out the entries in the /etc/aliases file?
I'm sure there are better ways, perhaps even easier ways, but if it were me and I needed to shut down all my lists FAST, I would probably download copies of all my lists' files onto my home computer and then just delete them off the server. No files on the server ... no lists. I would send out a administrative message to all my subscribers to let them know what was up and to tell them I'd send out a post when everything was working again. Then, I'd just upload them again when I was ready. Violet xoxox
