Re: [cobalt-users] ETRN & FEATURE(mailertable)

[Jeff Lasman <jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you, Duncan.  I was going to try that one; but I saw the "hacked 
together" lines at the top of /etc/sendmail.cf file, so I was afraid.

Now that I know I'm dealing with the source (you <smile>) I'll definitely 
do it.

I will notify you of any problems.  I'm quite familiar with 
Sendmail/Majordomo; I've been supplying email-list services on the Internet 
since 1994 <smile>.

ETRN is pretty simple; it doesn't require anything but the mailertable; it 
requires mailertable because otherwise sendmail will use dns MX records and 
go into a loop <frown>.

I will take your suggestions, and advise when done <smile>.

Did you notice you've spelled your first name wrong in your MUA <smile>?

And, oh, I've got a lot more of my own aliases files than just 
/etc/aliases.majordomo.  I've got aliases.local for aliases I maintain 
independtly of the RaQ's web-based interface, and aliases.xxxxx for a few 
different majordomo implementations; I run multiple majordomo with actual 
complete multiple setups; there are some serious gotcha's involved in using 
the majordomo documented method of multiple configuration tables, not to 
mention the rather complex alises it requires.
