Newbie Alert!!! I just installed Mailman 2.1.4 and created a new list via the Web based interface. This is a nice feature, but it does not give you the aliases to create like the command line does. It says it sent them via e-mail, but the email that was sent did not include the needed aliases.
I am on Redhat with Sendmail and Python 2.3.3. Is there something wrong with my installation, or is this known behavior of the program?

I configured sendmail to use two alias files: etc/aliases and /etc/mm_aliases (the latter being for Mailman aliases only). No merging necessary. My script appends to mm_aliases and executes newaliases thereafter. If you wish, you can configure sendmail's alias file option in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc. The line is here: define(`ALIAS_FILE', `/etc/aliases,/etc/mm_aliases')dnl - Kevin ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/brian%40oneparkplace.co m ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
