I am trying to get the mailing-list server "berolist" working. Setting it up includes adding aliases such as:
listname : "|/usr/sbin/list listname" So you see that mail sent to "listname" gets piped to the program /usr/sbin/list , or at least that is what is suppose to happen. When I do send mail to listname it doesn't get delivered. When I try to flush the mail que with "runq" I see messages such as: V 1999-09-17 22:06:25 11S7dL-00039J-00 Neither the system_aliases director nor the address_pipe transport set a uid for local delivery of |/usr/sbin/list news So, it says no uid was set. Is this a problem with my exim configuration? How do I get a uid set? I am assuming this is the problem. I have read the bug reports for berolist, one of which says that permissions are wrong and to change /usr/sbin/list to SUID lists.lists to make it work. Did I do this correctly by issuing the commands: # chown list.list /usr/sbin/list # chmod u+s /usr/sbin/list ls -l now shows: -rwsr-xr-x 1 list list 20620 Oct 14 1998 /usr/sbin/list But I still get the same problem including the same message from runq. Any thoughts? I would really like to get berolist working since it seems just right for what I need. Majordomo or another full-feature list-serve would be overkill for what I am doing, so I hope I don't have to resort setting up one of them instead. -Ben -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ben Messinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email contains no tyops. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
