Hi MJ Gurus,
I've got most thing working fine, but I've got this little nagging
problem. Insights please.
Throughout my site, I've changed the -outgoing to another string of
letters for tighter security. So, I don't want to use ANY instances of
-outgoing in my set-up. However, it seems as if the digest process in
some script somewhere does require the use of -outgoing. I'm getting
tripped up in the digest process.
I'm a newbie to unix and perl. Mj 1.94.1 with BSD/OS.
The Error message looks like this below (some snipped) when I set-up the
/etc/aliases without the -outgoing line after sending in the mkdigest
command.

Well, I'm trying to change the name of the -outgoing to some other
string. My desire is to invoke the "list-topic-digest-outgoing" be
"list-topic-digest-different".
Or, is this a silly request? I might be miss-guided. Wouldn't be the
first time. Is it impossible for a bad-boy to post directly to the
digest? I think not. Perhaps the -outgoing name change should only be
made for regular lists and not apply to digested lists -outgoing.
OK, here are the aliases for the lists that I'm using. But, warning:
These are not 100% correct. Word wrapping warnings of course. The name
change from "-outgoing" has been made below to be "-different"
------- start faulty aliases snip ----
# List things: DIGEST and ARCHIVING LISTING: CALLED: nagano-ccski-digest
-> to ways
nagano-ccski-digest: nagano-ccski-ways
nagano-ccski-digest-request: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l
nagano-ccski-digest"
nagano-ccski-digest-archive:
/usr/local/majordomo/Archives/nagano-ccski-digest
nagano-ccski-digest-digestify: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper digest -r
-C -l nagano-ccski-digest nagano-ccski-digest-different"
nagano-ccski-digest-different:
:include:/usr/local/majordomo/Lists/nagano-ccski-digest
# Below is a funky line inserted from an error message. Looks like above.
nagano-ccski-digest-outgoing:
:include:/usr/local/majordomo/Lists/nagano-ccski-digest
------ end faulty alaises snip -----
Things work fine when I include that last line with the -outgoing. But,
shouldn't one of the measures to be rid of the conventional -outgoing?
TIA.
Hint:????
In the file called "resend" there is a mention of outgoing.
Here is that snip of code:----
print STDERR "$0 [$$]: starting.\n" if $DEBUG;
if ( ! @ARGV) {
die("resend: must specify outgoing list as last arg(s)");
# this doesn't have to be this way. It could slurp it
# from the alias it was invoked as...?
}
------- end snip:
Does this need to be changed to the new string name?
FWIW, this also has an impact upon the alaises for the ownership as I
need to have to create an owner for digest-outgoing too.
