asked on

need majordomo setup advise

Hi All,

Majordomo was setup by another person.
We are using version 1.94.3 of Majordomo.

Majordomo works fine, except that i have to
create a new mailing list now for the first time
and have encountered a little difficulty.

I would really appreciate any hints on solving this
problem. I will try to explain it the best that i can.

I created a mailing list called "soi" which
stands "Sounds of India"

The configuration for that list is located at:

/usr/local/majordomo/lists/more soi.config

I added an alias for the soi mailing list in the following file:
/var/adm/sendmail/majordomo.aliases

> #soi
> #########################################################
> #       list subscriber file: /usr/local/majordomo/lists/soi
> #       list admin password: /usr/local/majordomo/lists/soi.passwd
> #       list information file: /usr/local/majordomo/lists/soi.info
> #########################################################
> soi: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l soi soi-list"
> soi-list: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/soi
> owner-soi: majordomo-owner
> soi-owner: owner-soi
> soi-request: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l soi"
> soi-approval: owner-soi
> #END SOI

There are 7 aliases in the above file, but the
newaliases command reports only 6 aliases. I wonder
why? What am i missing?

Finally, when i try to send a message to the soi list
that message never bounces back to me, it
gets stuck the root's email account. Detail follows:

I think the problem is in
/usr/var/adm/sendmail/majordomo.aliases
