[cobalt-users] Majordomo FIX

["Kevin" <owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

These are what I set up for Major Domo to Work Finally.
The settings for mail are the same as Stevens.

/home/spool/

drwxrwxr-x   2 root     mail         2048 Dec 15 00:05 mail/
drwxr-xr-x     2 root     root         2048 Dec 15 00:17 mqueue/


Add this line to:

/etc/sendmail.cf

O DontBlameSendmail=groupwritabledirpathsafe

I added it after this!


# default UID (can be username or userid:groupid)
O DefaultUser=8:12
O DontBlameSendmail=groupwritabledirpathsafe

Hi Kevin.

I got the same error before I tried all sorts of fixes, most of which didn't
work and my notes are not very good.  Here is what I can tell you.  That is
the UID and GID for user "mail".  I can't say for sure, but if you check the
following and yours are differnet than mine change the permissions/ownership
to mine.  If it doesn't work you can always change back.

from /home/spool/

drwxrwxr-x   2 root     mail         2048 Dec 15 00:05 mail/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         2048 Dec 15 00:17 mqueue/

And make sure

from /usr/local/majordomo

drwxr-xr-x   2 admin    daemon       5120 Dec 13 15:18 lists/

from /usr/local/majordomo/lists/

-rwxrwxr-x   1 admin    daemon         53 Dec  6 23:18 mylist

I am pretty sure it's b/c your /home/spool/mail doesn't have group write
permission on the lists directory or the file in lists/.

If none of this works I can tar my majordomo directory and you can install
it in another directory like /usr/local/majordomo2 and edit the records in
aliases and virtusertable to test it out.  Let me know if any of this works
so we can post the fix to the list.
