Why not just say
newlist -o /etc/mail/aliases

newlist -o /etc/mail/aliases  (everything gets APPENDED)

NOTE: this will _also_ output the aliases to standard output

Re: [Mailman-Users] Not creating users?? (new install question)

Hi,

Grant asked:
> What have I missed that allows Mailman to create users??

aliases.

I do this:

On telnet session:
% newlist -o LISTNAME

Then a set of lines like this appears in the telnet window and an output
file is made in the same directory.

- - -  snip starts - - -


## LISTNAME mailing list
## created: 23-May-2002 username
LISTNAME: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper post LISTNAME"
LISTNAME-admin:   "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner LISTNAME"
LISTNAME-request: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd LISTNAME"
LISTNAME-owner:   LISTNAME-admin

- - -  end snip - - -

Then, that info needs to be put into your sendmail file, "aliases". Then,
you need to run "vnewalises".

Then it should work.

My question for the *nix pros ---
How do you easily patch the contents of the output file (-o) into the
aliases file? The cut and paste is a drag with pico, and the word wrap is a
pain.

[Mailman-Users] Not creating users?? (new install question)

2002-05-23 Thread Grant Cummings 

I have installed Mailman 2.0.8 via the RPM from Redhat on a server running
Redhat 7.1

The install went fine, web interface works, I can set up new lists, add
users from the website, it mails out a confirmation email, BUT when I go to
send mail to the list, Sendmail bounces back telling me it's not a valid
user.  Sendmail is at version 8.11.6

What have I missed that allows Mailman to create users??

Thanks!
Grant
