I have been thoroughly working at setting up my Majordomo server
and I have been fairly successful at munging through the various
documentation, but I do feel that certain things would have been
a bit easier to set up if the documentation was just more thorough
in explaining the steps.
I have a few suggestions about adding to the FAQ:
1. Step by step instructions explaining what each alias is doing
and why there needs to be so many aliases.
2. A much more detailed explanation of creating digested lists
and what files need to be touch or created in the list directories,
archive directories and digest directories.
3. Definitely a detailed set of instructions on how to setup
the FTPMAIL. I went and got FTPMAIL of the Internet and
to my surprise there was no documentation on how to set up
the server. Just instruction on how to compile it.
4. I would like to see the aliases file defined as follows:
Show in detail with explanation and example what an absolute
minimum list would be, i.e. create a list called minimum with
no resend or wrappers.
Then gradually build upon the minimum list and create a list
called resendwrapper list. This list would be the absolute
minimum list with wrapper and resend.
After the minimum is defined then introduce the same list but
with an archive example.
After archives are setup then introduce the digests
And finally show a list with ftpmail included.
5. I was hoping that you could create a best of majordomo FAQ
that would show the above examples. Would it also be possible
to show every example separately? I mean just a digest and
nothing else?
6. Also, for some odd reason the example has the aliases file
spanning multiple lines. Was that done with spaces or
does your aliases file read multiple lines? I had to just
type the whole alias from the first line.
7. Can FTPMAIL be included in the tar file as part of the
MajorDomo distribution?
8. Above all else, can we please get some great documentation
on the FTPMAIL?
Thanks for listening.....
