I wonder if anyone could answer my question about majordomo.
I have installed majordomo on my machine. I am at Information Express in Palo
Alto. I used one machie (infoexp) as mail server and another (alto) as pop
server. So, all mail messages are kept on alto.
I installed majordomo on alto. Its source code is in /usr/local/src/majordomo
and its home directory is :/usr/local/tools/majordomo and its listdir is
/usr/local/tools/domolist.
I have an entry in /etc/passwd file for majordomo:
majordom:rP0nXigu4u2:100:30:majordomo list server:/usr/local/tools/majordomo:
and there is a group called majordomo.
The following is in my /etc/aliases file concerning majordomo and my sample
list:
###########################
# majordomo aliases below #

My perl program is in /usr/bin/perl and this is the first line of my resend
program which is a perl script and exeutable.
When I was about to test it, I issued a command:
echo help | /usr/lib/sendmail -v sample
and here is the output:
sample... aliased to "|/usr/local/mail/majordomo/wrapper resend -p bulk -M 10000

Could anyone who's installed this before tell me what I did wrong?
By the way, here is my config file:
# $whereami -- What machine am I running on?
$whereami = "alto.express.com";
# $whoami -- Who do users send requests to me as?
$whoami = "Majordomo@$whereami";
# $whoami_owner -- Who is the owner of the above, in case of problems?
$whoami_owner = "Majordomo-owner@$whereami";
# $homedir -- Where can I find my extra .pl files, like majordomo.pl?
# the environment variable HOME is set by the wrapper
if ( defined $ENV{"HOME"}) {
$homedir = $ENV{"HOME"};
} else {
$homedir = "/usr/local/tools/majordomo";
}
# $listdir -- Where are the mailing lists?
$listdir = "/usr/local/tools/domolist";
# $digest_work_dir -- the parent directory for digest's queue area
# Each list must have a subdirectory under this directory in order for
# digest to work. E.G. The bblisa list would use:
# /usr/local/mail/digest/bblisa
# as its directory.
$digest_work_dir = '/usr/local/tools/mail/digest';
# $log -- Where do I write my log?
$log = "$homedir/Log";
# $mailer -- What program and args do I use to send mail?
$mailer = "/usr/lib/sendmail -f\$sender \$to";
# Majordomo will look for "get" and "index" files related to $list in
# directory "$filedir/$list$filedir_suffix", so set $filedir and
# $filedir_suffix appropriately. For instance, to look in
# /usr/local/mail/files/$list, use:
# $filedir = "/usr/local/mail/files";
# $filedir_suffix = ""; # empty string
# or to look in $listdir/$list.archive, use:
# $filedir = "$listdir";
# $filedir_suffix = ".archive";
$filedir = "$listdir";
$filedir_suffix = ".archive";
# What command should I use to process an "index" request?
$index_command = "/bin/ls -lRL";
# If you want to use FTPMAIL, rather than local access, for file transfer
# and access, define the following:
# $ftpmail_address = "ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com";
# $ftpmail_location = "FTP.$whereami";
# if you want the subject of the request to be included as part of the
# subject of the reply (useful when automatically testing, or submitting
# multiple command sets), set $return_subject to 1.
$return_subject = 1;
# If you are using majordomo at the -request address, set the
# following variable to 1. This affects the welcome message that is
# sent to a new subscriber as well as the help text that is generated.
$majordomo_request = 0;
# Set the umask for the process. Used to set default file status for
# config file.
umask(007);
# the safe locations for archive directories
# None of the parameters that use safedirs are actually used, so
# @safedirs is a placeholder for future functionality.
# Just ignore it for version 1.90.
@safedirs = ( );
1;
