[cobalt-users] Mailing list

[Paul Grondahl <pgrondahl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey all,

I wonder if someone can provide some insight on Sendmail/Majordomo.

The problem is as follows:

I whish to create a a mailing list named all@xxxxxxxxxx - shouldn't be too hard right? Well, it's not possible through the web interface.

The web interface only allows me to create a list named all@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cobalt support gave me the following unsatisfactory answer:

>We are sorry, but it will not be possible to eliminate the hostname portion of
>the machine's address from the "resent from" field for mailing lists using
>supported methods.(The web interface) It may be possible to do it by direct

I tried making an alias in the /etc/aliases file, but it seems like aliases that expand to multiple receipients are somehow piped through majordomo. How is majordomo called? Is there a way I can disable majordomo?

I'm not experienced with either sendmail nor majordomo although I am reading the Sendmail "bat book" which is rather complex.... to say the least. This was easy with Exchange server!

All help is appreciated.

Thx,

Paul
