Re: [Lurker-users] New user - Possibilities with use of program

[James G. <jga...@co...>]

Hi Jonas,

When you mentioned "You need to deliver the mails to lurker-index", what 
do you mean?  I'm new at using mail-list software and using Linux for 
handling email.

If I setup Lurker and a new mail-list, can I not send emails to that 
mail list, similar to how I am currently doing now for this lurker-users 
list?

Thanks!
James G.
