hello,
I read this message several times just to make sure i had things right and
understood them, well apparently i don't, i am still getting an error from
the mailer anyway which says the directory is group writtable. the error
message however i copied this time if it will help. the exact error was
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
:include:/home/majordomo/md/lists/test
(expanded from: <test-outgoing @
nifty .
selfip .
net>)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 5.2.4 :include:/home/majordomo/md/lists/test... Cannot open
/home/majordomo/md/lists/test: Group writable directory
Receiving 2
the lines i payed attention to and added to my aliases were the ones below
the "in your case" line
hope this becomes clear soon

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
It would be good if you include the exact error.
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
test: :include:/home/majordomo/md/lists/test
Your test alias is supposed to be a command and you have it pointing to a
text file. For example - and these include demime and archive:
test: "|/usr/local/majordomo/demime '== /usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend
-l test test-list,nobody'"
test-list: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/test, test-archive,
test-digestify
test-digestify: "|/usr/local/majordomo/digest -r -C -l test-digest
test-digest-outgoing"
test-digest: test
test-digest-outgoing: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/lists/test-digest
test-archive: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper archive -f
/usr/local/majordomo/archives/test/test -a -M"
In your case, you might try the following:
test: "|home/majordomo/md/wrapper resend -l test test-outgoing,nobody"
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
As you can see, I set my lists up slightly differently but it works just fine
if you can follow the logic....
HTH,
Ed
