MR> Hi I have installed mj2 on my linux 7.0 machine..MTA is EXIM.

You should include the mj2-dev@csf.colorado.edu list as well; that's where
the Majordomo2 work goes on.  I have CC'd that list, and removed from the
CC list the three addresses of folks who don't work on Majordomo any
longer.

Be sure you have up-to-date sources, either from our CVS tree or using the
nightly snapshots at ftp://ftp.hub.org/pub/Majordomo2/.

MR> 1- is there any daemon for mj to be started ( i do nt think there is
MR> any daemon for this)?

You don't need to start any daemons.  If you installed with queueing
support enabled, mj_queuerun daemons will start and go away as needed.

MR> 2- how to create and start mailing list?

Use the createlist command.  Majordomo will take care of everything for
you.  Send the "help createlist" command (either by mailing it to
majordomo, or by typing "mj_shell help createlist" with mj_shell in your
PATH) for more information.

MR> 3- how to go about mailing list for virtual domains.?

When you installed the software, you were asked about all of the domains
you will be running, and they were all set up for you.

MR> 4- mailing list address e.g lists-test@xyz.com the alias should be
MR> existinng or MJ creates it by its own..please confirm

Mj2 creates everything you need.  You will still need to do some list
configuration afterwards (setting descriptions, security policies, etc.),
but createlist will mail the new list owner a set of instructions.

MR> i think mj modifies MTA configuration file but i do 'nt see any changes
MR> been made to my MTA config file

When you installed, you were given a block of configuration data and asked
to insert into your exim.conf yourself.  (This is too delicate and
site-dependent for us to do automatically.)  It is tailored to your
configuration.  Mine looks like:

majordomo_aliases:
  driver = aliasfile
  pipe_transport = address_pipe
  suffix = "+*"
  suffix_optional
  user = lists
  group = lists
  domains = lsearch;/war/lists/ALIASES/mj-domains
  file = /war/lists/ALIASES/mj-alias-${domain}
  search_type = lsearch

and goes directly after the localuser: director.
