[Mailman-Users] regular_exclude_lists (nondigest) does not workwith hosting service

[Cris McConkey]

Regarding correct form for regular_exclude_lists, which is the correct 
form?

listname-domain at lists.domain

or

listname at lists.domain

?

I have tried both.


There is NO indication of  2.1.11cp1.

I did see the following on my hosting services wiki that:

Due to a recent finding where discussion lists were often breaking due 
to their location in user's home directories, a major change was made to 
the system. Discussion list home directories are no longer publicly 
accessible.

My that somehow interfere with sibling lists?

I'm still waiting for the DNS to propagate so I can test the 
regular_exclude_lists function on a new list rcreated with Mailman 
2.1.11 ather than an old list created before the upgrade to 2.1.11.

Thanks.
