Hi,
I am trying to update FreeBSD courier port to 0.55.1. This works, but I need 
to include some support for WebMLM interface for completeness. While testing 
it I found something which could be considered a bug.
I created directory /var/List/1 with couriermlm create command, chowned it to 
courier, set URL, LISTNAME and LISTDESCR options. Address used was 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - basically I thing trouble occurs because last component in 
directory name (1) is not equal to local part of address (test).
Using http://testserver/cgi-bin/webmlm URL I got simple page listing all lists 
created (I created another one, just for fun), and LISTNAME option was used 
in text, but in URL directory name was used. Clicked there, and subscription 
page was shown. I put some address into subscribe box and clicked subscribe 
button. Until now, all is well. However, in mail sent URL used was based on 
URL list option, in my case test, and it does not work - subscription 
confirmation URL told 'no such list'. After replacing '1' in URL with 'test' 
comfirmation succeeded successfully.
So I see here either some inconsistency - URL option used in mails but not 
working in browser and directory name based URL working (but I think this is 
not correct - internal directory name should not be used in externally 
presented text) - or somehow higher complexity level than necessary (but I 
think the former is the case here).
As a side note, there is mknod() call in main() function in courier/webmlmd.C 
file I need to comment out in FreeBSD. It fails everytime calling it, and 
everything works fine after removal. Why is it there? I can use OS specific 
patch to handle this, but I would like to ask...
Regards,
Milan
