Actually, if you did a search&replace on the "list" part of the line you
would have the alias you need for ANY mailing list. Adding on to my first
example, and breaking the search&replace, see the next two examples.
Note: between resend and the listname is dash eL not eye.
if listname = books
books: "|/majordomo/wrapper resend -l books books-outgoing"
books-outgoing: :include:/majordomo/lists/books
if listname = jokes
jokes: "|/majordomo/wrapper resend -l jokes jokes-outgoing"
jokes-outgoing: :include:/majordomo/lists/jokes
I normally take the resend line just one step further, and add ,nobody
inside the quotes and at the end of the line to prevent sendmail
headers from revealing the list-outgoing alias. If someone gets mail
with this header information, they can bypass your restrict_post
setting as easily as when you forgot to use resend in the first place.
if listname = outage
outage: "|/majordomo/wrapper resend -l outage outage-outgoing,nobody"
outage-outgoing: :include:/majordomo/lists/outage
if listname = shoes
shoes: "|/majordomo/wrapper resend -l shoes shoes-outgoing,nobody"
shoes-outgoing: :include:/majordomo/lists/shoes
BTW, the -l (dash eL) tells resend the name of the list. The
information used as the last argument to resend on the line is
telling resend what file, alias, or address to relay messages to.
