Majordomo vs. PP

[Martin Hamilton <martin @ mrrl . lut . ac . uk>]

Hi, I've just got Majordomo 1.92 working with our campus PP mailhub.  In the
process I had to change do_exec_sendmail in majordomo.pl:

*** majordomo.pl        Mon Jun 27 17:12:47 1994
--- majordomo.pl-dist   Mon Jun 27 17:08:28 1994

*** 284,294 ****
      # open the process
      local(@mailer, $mailer);
      eval "\$mailer = \"$mail_prog\"";
  sub do_exec_sendmail {
!     exec "@_";
        die("Failed to exec mailer \"@_\": $!");
  }
!     open($MAIL, "|-") || &do_exec_sendmail($mailer);

      # generate the header.  Note the line beginning with "-"; this keeps
      # this message from being reprocessed by Majordomo if some misbegotten
--- 284,295 ----
      # open the process
      local(@mailer, $mailer);
      eval "\$mailer = \"$mail_prog\"";
+     @mailer = split(' ', $mailer);
  sub do_exec_sendmail {
!     exec(@_, "");
        die("Failed to exec mailer \"@_\": $!");
  }
!     open($MAIL, "|-") || &do_exec_sendmail(@mailer);

      # generate the header.  Note the line beginning with "-"; this keeps
      # this message from being reprocessed by Majordomo if some misbegotten

This seems innocuous to me, but perhaps it has implications ?!? :-)

Cheers,

Martin
