koken@vanwoede.nl is NOT supposed to accept commands it is supposed to
accept email messages that are distributed to the members of the list.
The addresses that should accept "commands" are
majordomo@vanwoede.nl and
koken-request@vanwoede.nl
The alias for koken should look similar to
koken: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l koken koken-list,nobody"
The -h and -r arguments are deprecated and redundant. Majordomo uses
information from the koken.config file for the information you are
setting. In fact, the config file overrides the command line.
-h is the same as resend_host
-r is the same as reply_to
The alias for koken-request should look similar to
koken-request: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l koken"
Since koken-list and nobody are recipients of koken, those aliases...
nobody: /dev/null
koken-list: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/koken
In other words, your aliases look OK in general. The ,nobody part
of the example koken: alias above will prevent sendmail from
announcing or advertising your koken-list address in the headers of
the messages being distributed from the list.
BTW, make sure you do not have `/bin/hostname` on the $whereami
variable of the majordomo.cf. This variable should be set with
the static machine name of your host, similar to
$whereami = "myhost.mydomain.nl";
If you wish to use the hostname executable to populate the variable,
you need to "chomp" the newline off of the result.
chomp($whereami);
When you send a command message to majordomo or koken-request, is
the subject of the message left blank, and the command is in the
body of the message? Are you leaving a blank line in the message
body to guarantee separation of the header and body you are creating?
If you set $majordomo_request = 0 in the majordomo.cf, does the
welcome or confirmation message go out telling subscribers to
reply to the majordomo address?
Is you majordomo localized, or english. If any language other
than english is used, are you sure it was done correctly? Look
at lines 1620-1640 of your /usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/majordomo
file. $whoami on lines 1624 and 1740 should translate into the
value of $whoami in the majordomo.cf (majordomo@$whereami).
If your subscribe_policy = closed+confirm
or if you have your list set as moderated
you will receive the bounces for approval
every time someone tries to join your list.
