[cobalt-users] majordomo and 'sub-domains' (RaQ4)

[Graeme Merrall <graeme@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No comments about choice of domain name please :)

Just been tinkering with majordomo which seems to give everyone a
headache from reading the archives.  However, I haven't see my problem
appear.

On the RaQ4 I've got a domain 'phuqed.com' along with a sub-domain
admin.phuqed.com which is where I'd like to plonk the list.

So I've setup a virtual site and added a CNAME to from admin.phuqed.com
to phuqed.com. MX for phuqed.com is mail.phuqed.com. Also created the
mailling list

virtusers contains:
majordomo-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx        majordomo_site1-owner
owner-majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx        owner-majordomo_site1
majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx      majordomo_site1

aliases.majordomo contains:
majordomo_site1:        "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper -v site1 -f
admin.phuqed.com  majordomo"
owner-majordomo_site1:  admin
majordomo_site1-owner:  owner-majordomo_site1
tlb_site1:      "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper -v site1 -f
admin.phuqed.com  resend -l tlb tlb_site1-list"
tlb_site1-list: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/admin.phuqed.com/lists/tlb
tlb_site1-request:      "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper -v site1 -f
admin.phuqed.com  request-answer tlb"
tlb_site1-approval:     admin
owner-tlb_site1:        admin
tlb_site1-owner:        owner-tlb_site1


However, an email request to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx shows up in the
mail log as:
Aug  8 03:13:19 www sendmail[8599]: g782DJ408599:
from=Majordomo-Owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, size=491, class=0, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<200208080213.g782DJ408599@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, relay=mail@localhost
Aug  8 03:13:19 www sendmail[8596]: g782DIZ08596:
to="|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper -v home -f www.phuqed.com  majordomo",
ctladdr=<majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx> (8/0), delay=00:00:02, xdelay=00:00:01,
mailer=prog, pri=30019, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent

and I get an email telling me majordomo had permission problems
accessing /usr/local/majordomo/www.phuqed.com.  Hardly surprising
considering that domain has no list or directory created for it in
/usr/local/majordomo :)

-- snip! --
While running with an effective uid of 8 and an effective gid of 2 2 12,
Majordomo
ran into the following problems:
Unable to create log file in /usr/local/majordomo/www.phuqed.com, check
permissions.
Unable to write to list directory $listdir, check permissions on
/usr/local/majordomo/www.phuqed.com/lists
-- snip! --

So I'm a little confused as to how too process from here. I'm hoping
that rather than using a CNAME for admin.phuqed.com, that a A record
will be more effective. I'm just waiting for this to propagate now.

Any other tips?

Cheers,
 Graeme
