Another X-Command question. Well there have been some pretty harsh words recently about the idocy of anyone not getting the how-to of the X-Command feature, so admittedly, I'm reluctant to ask anything here, but I've been trying this off-and-on now for a number of months with no success. I've read and re-read the famous *Chapter 2*, reviewed the mailing list archives, prayed to God for enlightenment, and been up and down through the comments in most of the rc files and examples. Still... no luck. I'll admit: I am missing something obvious, easy, and I'm stupid for not seeing it. And now that I've said it myself, I don't need anyone else to state the obvious, but I would appreciate a helping hand in getting this to work. Okay, so I send a non-HTML e-mail from the administrator's account with no subject line to the list-request address. The first line of the body is: X-Command: faxguy@deanox.com password showdist And I send it. And the dist list surely doesn't show up in response. Regardless of the command, I get the same response: nothing. I've turned on VERBOSE and LOGEXTRACT, and it looks like the x-command is being processed, but something is killing it... my log follows. Thanks.
