I am myself in exactly the same situation as Eric, using tera-byte.com
virtual servers. While the setup using web-based Ensim certainly makes
a majordomo mailing list, it is not fully configured, and the resend
option(s) are completely ignored. Attempts to enter the above advice
via Ensim unfortunately creates somewhat of a mess.
Now, it is fully possible to alter the configuration files directly,
using SSH TelNet. But to avoid creating an even greater mess I would
very much like some thorough documentation on the setup of majordomo
in general and aliases in particular. I have found virtually nothing
about the latter in the documentation. Possibly I have been looking
in the wrong places? Any hints/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Lars
