Post-Install Notes for Majordomo
================================
Before you can use Majordomo, you will need to complete a few steps
manually:
- customize 'majordomo.cf' in your majordomo directory
- look at 'aliases.majordomo-sample' in your majordomo directory for
examples of how to create lists. Before editing, copy this list to
where you keep your alias files (for example, copy it to
/etc/aliases.majordomo. A test list (test-l) has been created and
configured for you. Be sure to remove this list if you do not want
to use it for testing.
- substitute your own email address for "Postmaster" for the
"majordomo-owner" alias.
- add 'aliases.majordomo' to your sendmail configuration. This can
be done by adding a line similar to the following to
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf and /etc/mail/submit.cf:
OA/etc/aliases.majordomo
(for 8.6.x Sendmail)
O AliasFile=/etc/aliases,/etc/aliases.majordomo
(for 8.7.x and up)
or a line similar to the following to your m4 macros file :
define(`ALIAS_FILE',`/etc/aliases,/etc/aliases.majordomo')
Sendmail will need a restart after this.
- consider using ports/mail/tlb to process your deliveries if you
want to hide your outgoing aliases. This way you can prevent people
from evading restrictions for posting to your lists.
- to prepare proper permissions for the wrapper script, run
ports/mail/majordomo/scripts/adaptwrapper (if it has not already
been run)
Enjoy Majordomo!
