Common Problems

• Why does the log file for ListProc say "*** Possible fake mail... "? What does this mean?
• My ListProc logs show a regerror() error. What is causing this?
• I have been unable to connect to the server via 'ilp'. What could be the problem?
• A common message footer contains a keyword for ListProc, so I always get error messages, how can I stop this?
• A list has left my ListProc. How can I have ListProc point to the new location of the list on a different (ListProc, ListServ, Majordomo) server?
• I have list owners who say they receive too many error messages from ListProc. Can they stop getting any mail from ListProc and still be the owner of the list?
• We've installed a new mail host and the email addresses for all of our users have changed. Is there some way to change the .subscribers file to they do not have to unsubscribe and then resubscribe?
• What do I do if ListProc tells me that address "x" is not on the list, but lists an alternate address which is identical to "x" which is on the list?
• I can't register users for lp-web, and the Apache error_log says "Premature end of script headers..."
• I keep getting error messages that say "The global server is unreachable" - what should I do?
• I have a user who is subscribed to one of my lists, but never gets any emails.
• I deleted a list and ran "revdb delete listname" but there are still references to the list in users.db.

You may find ListProc's certificate of compliance for y2k at: http://www.listproc.net /y2k.html

People who archive with the %y (yr) can switch whenever they like to %Y (year). This became effective circa ListProc version 8.1. Since archive file names are not critical in most cases, this is not of great importance.
