The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Paul Wisén <address@concealed>]

I just can't get it to work can I .. ;)


Is there anybody out there that is using Linux, Sendmail with smrsh to run
Sympa?

And in that case, how does your alias file look like ?

I have a list called testlist and therefore these alias:

testlist:               |/etc/smrsh/queue testlist 
testlist-request:       |/etc/smrsh/queue testlist-request
testlist-editor:        |/etc/smrsh/queue testlist-editor  
testlist-owner:         |/etc/smrsh/bouncequeue testlist 
testlist-subscribe:     |/etc/smrsh/queue testlist-subscribe 
testlist-unsubscribe:   |/etc/smrsh/queue testlist-unsubscribe

when I'm trying to mail testlist-request I get this in the maillog:

in /etc/smrsh I got this:

---
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           22 Oct  6 12:51 queue ->
/home/sympa/bin/queue/
---

When I do this I also got a response back from sendmail saying:

note the dot.. where the !! does that come from.. ?

sh: /etc/smrsh/queue.testlist-request: No such file or directory
                    ^-----------------

I have tried with this instead in the alias file, but it had no effect .. 

testlist:               "|/etc/smrsh/queue testlist" 
testlist-request:       "|/etc/smrsh/queue testlist-request" 
testlist-editor:        "|/etc/smrsh/queue testlist-editor"  
testlist-owner:         "|/etc/smrsh/bouncequeue testlist" 
testlist-subscribe:     "|/etc/smrsh/queue testlist-subscribe" 
testlist-unsubscribe:   "|/etc/smrsh/queue testlist-unsubscribe"

Tried this to..  :

echo foo | /etc/smrsh/queue.testlist-request
bash: /etc/smrsh/queue.testlist-request: No such file or directory

echo foo | /etc/smrsh/queue testlist-request
bash: /etc/smrsh/queue: Not a directory
----

what to do ?


kind regards
