The path isn't the problem.  Sendmail is paranoid and will not execute
programs that aren't trusted.  To make a program trusted add a symbolic link
to it using "ln" in /usr/adm/sm.bin/.  "man ln" for instructions.  Go to the
directory I just mentioned and type "ln -s keymail.pl
/home/sites/site1/web/keystone/perl/keymail.pl".  I believe you'll also need
to make the original file (not the symbolic link) executable by the user
sendmail runs as.  chmod 755 that file and it should work.

Sometimes MySQL and other programs are picky and can't find what they want
even if you tell them the right location.  Try --with-mysql=/usr/include
and --with-mysql=/usr in that order and see if it works.  Yes, it seems like
a bizarre fix, but it's sometimes what's needed.  Post again after you've
tried so people searching the archives can find the right answer.

Sure.  Did you visit the site yet?  It scours the internet to gather
information on the webserver software servers are running along with other
statistics.  For example, bigpond.com.au is running MS IIS 4.0 on NT4/Win98.

No.  And if you want to block Netcraft I'm sure you could find out the IPs
that would be needed.

Change the following line from:

RewriteEngine on

to:

RewriteEngine off

Apache directives are somewhat difficult to get a handle on so just keep
reading and practicing and you'll be an expert soon enough.

I don't like to touch the Cobalt majordomo software b/c I don't want to
break its ability to be used from the GUI, but I use majordomo from my own
additional installations of it.  For large lists you may want to look into
using bulkmailer with majordomo (a search on google should get you plenty of
info) since it speeds up delivery.  mj2, the development version of
majordomo has a bulk mail handler built in.  I'm told mj2 is pretty stable,
though YMMV.  There are other mailing list managers that might suit your
needs better so I suggest subscribing to the list-managers list at
www.greatcircle.com and searching that list's archives.

I found this at http://webhostingtalk.com (under the Cobalt forum, thread is
called "PHP update for RaQ 4i" :

>>>>>>>>>>

I use this method on all my servers, in 10 mins you'll have 4.0.5 installed.

 tar zxvf php4.0.4pl1.tar.gz
 cd php-4.0.4pl1
 ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs --with-zlib --with-ftp
 make
 make install
 cd /etc/httpd/conf
 pico httpd.conf
 ## change the loadmodule of php4 to:
 LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so
 ## it could also be duplicate
 ## save httpd.conf
 /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
 ## you can check if it runs through:
 ## telnet localhost 80

That should very well be possible, but there's so many ways of transferring
files over a network. You could use simple ftp (tricky, haven't automated
that before), but scp or rsync thru ssh would be much better. scp/ssh allows
authentication without supplying passwords, making automation easy.

What are you options? Can you describe what setup "you" and "they" have?
Does it *have* to be ftp? Are the files always named the same?

Those kinds of questions... Nico

OK, so this being a coblat list, I assume that we're dealing with the
RAQ :-)
Some of the comments you made in this post aren't clear,
but I kept them in there for contextual purposes. It might matter in 2-3
posts from now :-)

Uuuhhh, not sure I understand the meaning of this at all.

<baffled look> you're not making this easy...what does the "other
server"
have to do with mail handling for *one* domain?

err...ummm...getting clearer now...I think. See below

Your answer is procmail.
In /etc/procmailrc (the global procmailrc file) you should probably have
something like this;
decide where you want a logfile, touch and chmod 600
Be sure to set VERBOSE=ON
to allow you to see debug output. Watch your logfile size since if the
domain gets a lot of traffic
the log will grow VERY quickly. When you are satisfied that everything
is working, turn verbose logging off
but set LOGABSTRACT=ALL instead which will write out a modified (and
leaner)logfile. Even so, you may want
to logrotate the procmail logfile. Your call.
If you don't want to mess with logrotate, you could roll your own
solution as follows:
If the siteadmin doesn't have shell access, (although I can't think why
this might be) I'd write a small tar/gzip backup script that grabs the
contents of the siteradmin's mail directory and cron it to run daily at
some ungodly quiet hour. Maybe stuff the thing in an FTP directory for
good measure so that the client can grab it (even if they can't do
anything with it, they can always send it back to you for opening if
necessary)
