The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Paul Borghese" <address@concealed>]

Thanks! 

 

Newbie question:  Are you referring to a sendmail function or a Sympa function? 

 

I did a search on “reverse aliases rewrite” and came up with a feature in sendmail called “genericstable”:  Here is a summary:

 

1.      If you would like to reverse-map local users for out-bound mail, you will need to add support for the generics table to your .mc file:

2.           FEATURE(`genericstable', `dbm /etc/mail/genericstable')dnl3.           GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/generics-domains')dnl

And you will need to create /etc/mail/genericstable which is like /etc/mail/virtusertable above except the columns are reversed:

jschmoe                  address@concealed

 

 

Is this what I should be looking at?

 

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

 

I run a discussion list that is setup a little different then most.  When someone sends an e-mail to address@concealed it first is processed by a web based system and posted on a discussion board.  If it makes it through the web board it eventually is send to address@concealed where it is sent to the e-mail list members via majordomo.

 

I would like to replace majordomo with Sympa.  But here is the problem.  I can not figure out how to create a list where the “real” posting address is address@concealed but specifies address@concealed for all transactions.  So the to: address and all of the header list-id’s should be address@concealed not address@concealed.

 

Editing the alias file in sendmail does part of the trick.  By changing the list to read:

 

list-outgoing: "| /home/sympa/bin/queue address@concealed"

 

I can fix the header list-id’s.  But the to: address in the e-mail is still list-outgoing.

 

Any ideas?

What about using reverse aliases rewrite rule ?
