Re:[cobalt-users] Mailman on Cobalt

["Blandford, Simon [BSS Audio UK]" <Simon.Blandford@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK,

I can now answer this one myself. In addition to adding the entries in
/etc/aliases, it is also necessary to edit /etc/virtusertable file and then
do

makemap hash /etc/virtusertable < /etc/virtusertable
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail restart

to make it all happen.

The stuff needs to be put at the end of the /etc/virtusertable file where it
says otherwise it will be overwritten by the site administration scripts.
The entries, for an example mailing list called "news", required would look
something like...

news@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx    		globalnews
news-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx		news-admin
news-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx     news-request
news-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx       news-owner


and the /etc/aliases file would have this added...

mailman: <your admin email address>
mailman-owner: mailman
news:			"|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post news"
news-admin:		"|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner news"
news-request:	"|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd news"
news-owner:		news-admin

Hope someone out there finds this helpfull!
Simon.
