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/majordom o.aliases
> #soi
> ########################## ########## ########## ########## #
> # list subscriber file: /usr/local/majordomo/lists /soi
> # list admin password: /usr/local/majordomo/lists /soi.passw d
> # list information file: /usr/local/majordomo/lists /soi.info
> ########################## ########## ########## ########## #
> soi: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wra pper resend -l soi soi-list"
> soi-list: :include:/usr/local/majord omo/lists/ soi
> owner-soi: majordomo-owner
> soi-owner: owner-soi
> soi-request: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wra pper 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:
