Thread: Majordomo results: archive-get
In reply to the canonical request to get an old post: archive-get pgsql-general 200303/1167 I received this message: * majordomo-owner@postgresql.org <majordomo-owner@postgresql.org> [250303, 08:16]: > >>>> archive-get pgsql-general 200303/1167 > **** No messages were retrieved from the archive for the pgsql-general list. > **** Your request was denied. > **** > **** A personal or administrative password is required to issue this command.

Where is the error? You need to send in a request to get a password. I posted how to do this when I had to figure it out a couple of months ago. I don't remember the exact details, but they are in the archive. Alternatively, you could find and read some majordomo documentation.

OK, but do you use it when retrieving a post from the archive? And, if yes, where do you put it in the command line? (I tried to put it at the beginning of the line with no success. As no mention of password is given in the help instructions couldn't it be a question of exact matching of 'registered' address whith the 'From:' address resulting from my request? Thanks for your patience, Bruno. -- [Perche' usare Win$ozz (dico io) se ..."anche uno sciocco sa farlo. \\?// Fa' qualche cosa di cui non sei capace!"

You have to prefix the command by: APPROVE your_password
