Hello all,
Sorry to bother the list with this kind of question, but I have tried
allmost everthing else.
I have compiled and installed majordomo 1.92 on a Linux and
everything seems to be in place. I have placed the aliases in
/etc/aliases as suggested. However the user majordomo is unknown to
the system when mailing. So I tried to insert a dummy user with mail
forwarding in the aliases file : dummy: root. This should make mail
to dummy go to root instead. The user dummy is unkonown.
The problem is with smail (Linux derivative of sendmail), which
apparently does not read the aliases file. I looked in the smail
documentation and found somewhere a config command : -oA alias-file,
which I inserted into the smail configuration file. This had the
effect that no mail at all comes through, not even to regular users.
The -oA command must mess up the config of smail. But how then do I
tell smail to use the /etc/aliases file ???
I have looked in all the possible faq and how-to's without luck.
Hope someone can help.
Anders.
