[cobalt-users] How limited is the Majordomo config fix?

[Alfredo <alfredo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As we know, the Raq majordomo doesn't let you email a revised config 
to a list -- emails back a "can't find .newlist" error (or something 
like that). I've been changing it through Telnet with vi because I've 
just been reluctant to do the recommended fix in the archives: go to 
config-parse.pl and change the line

'restrict_post',       '#!"$list"',   # Like -I in resend

to

'restrict_post',       '#!"$baselist"',   # Like -I in resend


I'm assuming that this change only affects restrict_post but am I 
right? Would it affect any of the other majordomo services involving 
the GUI or any of the other configurations. I'm just confused as to 
why it needs baselist for this one function but can find "list" on 
all the others and am worried that, if I change it to baselist in 
restrict_post, it's gonna look for baselist whenever it needs the 
"list" file for all the rest of its functions. Sounds crazy but crazy 
things do sometimes happen on this machine.

In short, is it safe?

Thanks
Alfredo
