[snip] ...stuff... [/snip] This is interesting, I set up the mail line for the CRON to read mail("php-general@lists.php.net", "[NEWBIE GUIDE] - For benefit of new list members", $msg, "From: php-general@lists.php.net\r\n" . "Reply-To: php-general@lists.php.net\r\n" . "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()); And the test mail did not appear on the list. Would php-general not recognize itself as a member?

maybe it doesn't work on purpose - possibly to avoid mail loops? --- Jay, great list BTW - I was thinking maybe we could drop it on a site/wiki or something which could also contain stuff that comes up again and again, or stuff that even the 6month y/o newbie finds trivial or just good stuff thats been condensed from the list (kind of a good practice/cool code repository). I know there are lots of places out there already but I think ,for instance, the mail archives suck for searching - and often there is plenty of FUD in among the cherries. someone could then send out a weekly NEWBIE email that points them to said site - which in turns introduces them to netiquette, list faqs, etc. having a Wiki type thing would relieve the list of lots of 'O-T' stuff on 'NEWBIE email enhancements'?
