Is pgeu-general on the archives, or excluded? is it just teh -board
list that is excluded?
Basically, what I'd propose is:
shutdown mail server during name change
mv (and make a copy of) pgeu-general to pgeu-general (at the file
system level)
regenerate alias/virtual table
edit config file and mboxes and change all occurances of pgeu-general
to pgeu-general
add pgeu-general to exclusion list
restart mail server
the backup of the original files would be in case I'm wrong about how
majordomo regenerates its aliases file ... I believe its straight from teh
file system, but a backup would ensure that I could put it back
quick/easily if I'm wrong ...
If that sounds good to you, I'll do it late tonight and send a note out
once completed, which will act as a test at teh same time ...
