Hi All
Before I continue let me say, I have read the
INSTALL, README, FAQ and searched the archive for
this list. If I have missed the answer to my
question sorry.
I know this is a simple problem but I cannot get
the concept here.
My system is Redhat 5.1, Perl 5.004 and
majordomo-1.94.4.
I have installed majordomo by following the
INSTALL
1) created a group majordomo.daemon
"majordomo.daemon:x:600:"
created a user majordomo.daemon
"majordomo.daemon:*:503:600:::"
4) edited the majordomo.cf file
$whereami = "scooby.arcom.com.au";
$whoami = "majordomo\@$whereami";
$whoami_owner = "root\@$whereami";
$homedir = "/usr/local/majordomo";
$listdir = "$homedir/lists";
8) edited /etc/aliases
majordomo:"|/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.4/wrapper
majordomo"
owner-majordomo: root, (also tried
majordomo.daemon)
majordomo-owner: root (also tried
majordomo.daemon)
9) ./wrapper config-test ran OK (said "Should be
OK")
10) now here is the problem.
% touch /path/to/majordomo/lists/test
% echo 'lists' | mail majordomo
Sends mail to root
From: root<root@scooby.arcom.com.au>
To: root@scooby.arcom.com.au
Subject: MAJORDOMO ABORT (mj_majordomo)
--
MAJORDOMO ABORT (mj_majordomo)!!
root@scooby.arcom.com.au punting to avoid mail
loop.
I then set up the test list as per NEWLIST
and added into my /etc/aliases
test: "|/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.3/wrapper
resend -l test test-list"
test-list:
:include:/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.3/lists/test
owner-test: majordomo.daemon, (also tried
root)
test-owner: majordomo.daemon (also tried
root)
test-request:
"|/usr/test/majordomo-1.94.3/wrapper majordomo -l
test"
When I try to subscribe to this list the mail is
sent to the user from root and
is returned to root?
When I try to add a new user root gets mail
MAJORDOMO ABORT (mj_majordomo)!!
root@scooby.arcom.com.au punting to avoid mail
loop.
and the user is not added.
I believe there is an alias/name problem here but
I cannot see it. I have tried
to follow the instructions to to the letter but am
obviously missing something I suspect is very
basic.
Can any one help?
Also possibly related is the instruction in the
NEWLIST
7) Now issue a 'config <listname>
<listname>.admin' command to
Majordomo.
What exactly does that mean ? how do I issue a
command to majordomo?
Following the instructions to set up the test
account created that file but whats
the story?
Sorry for the long post I am trying to give enough
info here. Thanks for the
help.
Regards
