hello all,
I sure hope someone can help me with this big problem i have. I don't know if for some reason this isn't sinking in or if the examples and docs are as clear as mud but..i got along fine making a non-digest list called test, did the aliases right and everything, but now when i read the part about creating aliases for the digest and archive its as clear as mud not to mention testing the digest and regular lists, i get a mailer-daemon error showing me that test has been expanded, and it tries to use the include line as the email address or something along that line, i have no clue what is going wrong and really can't explain it better than that. also, one doc says one thing, one says another way, half way into the first doc, it seems like the person lost track of the directory which doesn't help a newbie. I am not new to linux at all, just new to mlm software
and if it helps, these are all the lines i have added to my /etc/mail/aliases file that werent there before, i.e excluding the mailer-daemon and postmaster.


also, i am using slackware 10.2 on a junky gateway p3(i know i know), 800mhz(not by choice)
so, here are those alias lines:
like i said, hope someone can clear this up for me


majordomo: "|/home/majordomo/md/wrapper majordomo"
owner-majordomo: matt
majordomo-owner: matt
test: :include:/home/majordomo/md/lists/test
owner-test: matt
test-request: "|/home/majordomo/md/wrapper request-answer test"
test-approval: matt

test-outgoing: :include:/home/majordomo/md/lists/test, test-digestify
test-digestify: "|/home/majordomo/md/wrapper digest -r -C -l test-digest test-digest-outgoing"
test-digest: test
test-digest-outgoing: :include:/home/majordomo/md/lists/test-digest
owner-test-digest-outgoing: matt
test-digest-approval: matt
