Re: [cobalt-users] Bulk_mailer install success

Below are directions on getting bulk_mailer to deliver mail to large lists
or to deliver mail without use of majordomo.

Making Bulk_mail Work on a Raq4--Follow these directions after installing
bulk_mailer


1-Go to: /usr/lib/

2-Put a symbolic to sendmail in /usr/lib/ as follows:
      ln -s /usr/sbin/sendmail sendmail

3-Adjust your majordomo.alias file (get directions all over the net) and you
can send mail via the bulk_mailer/majordomo combo.

4-Or send mail directly to bulk_mailer via this command:
bulk_mailer yourname@xxxxxxxxxx /path/to/majordomo/listname <
/path/to/file/you/want/to/mail/here.txt
(NOTE:  The file you are mailing must contain mail headers)

5-A description of the command in #4 follows

SYNTAX: bulk_mailer username recipients < file_to_send

A-where username = your username ("ed")
B-recipients = a file containing a newline-separated list of recipient
                   e-mail addresses
C-file_to_send = a file to send to the recipients, INCLUDING full
                     headers, like so:

---begin file_to_send---
From: eddie <ed@xxxxxxxx>
Subject: A test of bulk_mailer

This is a test of bulk_mailer. You must put a space between
the header and the body of the message!
---end file_to_send---
