First of all, thank you very much for the informations, Martin and Leo. :) To be honest I have no clue (yet ;-)) about ezmlm, qmail and apmail but I am willing to learn. Please, review what I think we need to do.

"A sublist is a list that receives its input from another mailing list, rather than from users directly. The sublist is just a regular subscriber of the main list." The last sentence is what we want but the "its input from another mailing list, rather than from users directly" not exactly. It should work like in the following scenario. "subsciberName.at.domain.com sends mail to lefo.at.apache.org. 1) lefo.at.apache.org is subscribed to dev.at.forrest.apache.org and dev.at.lenya.apache.org and posts (fowards) all mails to both list. 2) Ideally it will add [lefo] to the subject line. 3) The lefo list will set the reply-to header to itself, so that all replies go to both lists again." The input is invoked by a subscriber, rather then by one of the lists. Maybe I am just not understanding the concept of sublist in ezmlm right but like I stated before I am a total newbie. Another thing is that we also want that certain parts of the lenya and forrest repository are sending commits mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which will be forwarded to [email protected] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] This needs an upgrade of Subversion, but we can create this list as well now. ;-) > Mvgr, > Martin > > Leo Simons wrote: > > On Sat, Sep 03, 2005 at 03:41:23PM +0200, Thorsten Scherler wrote: > > > >>Hello infrastructure team, > > > > > > Hi Thorsten! > > > > ... > > > > We run ezmlm and qmail.

Since he is busy anyway I may can help him out. ;-) Maybe even this mail is such a solution.

Then I 'cat .qmail-committers'. This file is responsible to mail all committers at apache if somebody sends a mail to committers.at.apache.org. It is doing this with a piped command. I reckon the following commands would create the correct .qmail-lefo and .qmail-lefo-commits: echo "| /var/qmail/bin/forward lenya-dev forrest-dev">.qmail-lefo echo "| /var/qmail/bin/forward lenya-commits forrest-svn">.qmail-lefo-commits That would be sufficient for 1), if I understood the above mentioned README right: "Yes, this also means that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is going to be the same as [EMAIL PROTECTED]" So I just tried further this beautiful README. I started with > sudo -H -u apmail tcsh Password: thorsten is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. Ok, I do not have permissions. ;-) The command that I wanted to invoke afterward is (replace .at. with @): /home/apmail/bin/makelist.roy.sh -m thorsten.at.apache.org lefo lefo-commits Following http://www.ezmlm.org/ezman/ezman3.html#ss3.7 "Adding a subject prefix to messages" I would have then "...just place the text in the file DIR/prefix." where the text would be [lefo]. This would do 2) from the scenario. The last step 3) I would have done with http://www.ezmlm.org/faq/FAQ-9.html#ss9.8 "put ``reply-to'' into DIR/headerremove, and ``Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'' into DIR/headeradd." I reckon I forgot some things and would be happy if somebody can review this steps. I hope I understood the rest more or less right. > > > >>I would be happy to help the infrastructure team, I just need some > >>instructions. > > > > > > Bonus points for attitude. > > :) Cheers. Actually if the above written is right and you need help on infra I would like to ask for permissions to do it myself and save your time. You never know when I can help setting up a list again here on infra. ;-) > > > >>"Together we stand, divided we fall!" > >>Hey you (Pink Floyd) > > > > > > +1! > > :) salu2 -- thorsten "Together we stand, divided we fall!"
