I did install the Red Hat contrib MHonArc and uncommented the line. No errors yet, but then I don't think I'm up and running yet (see below). > Don, can you verify that Sympa is working for > me?

Well, WWSympa seems to be working better than the mailing list itself at this point. I can't seem to get any mail to flow anywhere. I'll be playing with it more this evening when I get home and I'll be trying to go to the Sympa guys directly with my questions, but I may copy cooker just to see if there's any Mandrakes out there that have seen the problem(s) before. I will say though, WWSympa appears to be awesome. Other than a little mangled English and a few spots of un-translated French, it rocks. I've been able to create a few lists by hand, and then subscribe people using WWSympa. I'm currently using a MySQL database for the user list, and it appears to be working flawlessly. My own concern right now (with WWSympa and Sympa) is that the database username and password is stored in plain text in the /etc/sympa.conf. I tried changing the permissions on it, but that caused WWSympa to complain. I think that's an Apache suexec problem (I don't think I have it running correctly), I'll get back to you on it. I'll make sure to include some pretty complete instructions. Along with those instructions, I may write up a README to be included with the Mandrake package that is a quick step-by-step to creating your first mailing list to getting WWSympa running, as well as getting the database and everything set up. The Sympa docs are good, but seem to jump around a lot, and I like a straight-through process. That is, when I get it all figured out.. > Still, being that MHonArc would probably be in > contribs (assuming that I do a Mandrake RPM for > it) I still cannot unable the MHonArc function > until it is in main.
