We use majordomo with smail-3.1.29 on our SCO systems with various
flavours of perl (4.036, 5.001m, and 5.002) with good results. Here
is a typical set of aliases for a list. Note that the test-list-outxxxx
alias refers to itself as the first alias so that smail-3.? uses its
own list processing using the file in /usr/local/lib/smail/lists
which is a symlink to the /usr/local/lib/mail/lists entry
ln -s /usr/local/lib/mail/lists/test-list \
/usr/local/lib/smail/lists/test-list-outxxxx
We process about 20,000 mail messages/day through our main server
which is a Pentium 90 that also handles multiple full news feeds over
a T1 so performance is adequate.
Note that we also alias test-list-request to majordomo rather than
send it to the normal requests script on the hope that if people get
the request right it will do the right thing otherwise it will send
them help info.
test-list: "|/usr/local/lib/mail/majordomo/wrapper resend -p bulk -M 10000 \
-l test-list -f test-list-Owner -h celestial.com \
-s test-list-outxxxx"
owner-test-list: test-list-owner
test-list-outxxxx: test-list-outxxxx, test-list-archive
owner-test-list-outxxxx: test-list-owner
test-list-archive: "|/usr/local/lib/mail/majordomo/wrapper archive \
-f /usr/local/lib/mail/lists/test-list.archive/test-list -m -a"
owner-test-list-archive: test-list-owner
test-list-request: majordomo
owner-test-list-request: test-list-owner
test-list-approval: postmaster
test-list-owner: postmaster
owner-test-list-owner: postmaster

The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common.
Instead of altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts
to fit their views ... which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to
be one of the facts that needs altering.
