Hi
I am having troubles getting Exim (1.73) to feed majordomo (1.94.x). My
machine serves mail for "shire.net" as well as a whole ton more domaisn.
I want it to serve for lists.shire.net and frogmorton.shire.net as well as
separate entities (separate mail domains separate from shire.net itself --
up til now a separate machine processed list mail directly [own mx record
etc] and that will happen again in the future soon). The majordomo stuff
is under lists.shire.net
This is what I have:
majordomoforwarder:
driver = aliasfile,
domains = lists.shire.net:frogmorton.shire.net;
file = /usr/local/majordomo/majordomo.aliases,
include_domain = true, # tried both with and without
search_type = lsearch,
forbid_pipe = false,
user = majordom
I have tried it with and without include_domain
The majodomo.aliases file is a standard aliases file like the majordomo
help files say to set up (ie lots of aliases pointing to other aliases or
pipes to majordomo's wrapper)
(side question: how to make exim's alias handling code treat a result from
the aliases file as a totally new address that should be reevaluated
instead of being a "finished" local part? This comes up again here because
majordomo aliases can look like this:
list-approval: list-owner
list-owner: some@???
and this failes as exim treats list-owner as a complete local part instead
if reevaluating it as a possible alias. I've had this in thepast before so
I avoided the problem by making a complete address user@??? but the
majordomo aliases aren;t like that and they worked fine under sendmail.
[hence the include_domain attempt above).
I got it to work when I went through and modified the majordomo.aliases
file and qualified the addresses with @lists.shire.net but digests would
never work for some reason.
ANyway, hints and examples on getting majordomo to work are greatly
appreciated.
thanks
Chad
