=========================================================================== $NetBSD: MESSAGE,v 1.3 2003/02/24 13:10:58 seb Exp $ Post-Install Notes for Majordomo =========================================================================== Before you can use Majordomo, you will need to complete a few steps manually: - install majordomo.cf in ${HOME}/${MAJORDOMO_USER}. Look in ${PREFIX}/share/examples/majordomo for an example and be sure to change instances of ${HOSTNAME} as appropriate. - create lists in ${HOME}/${MAJORDOMO_USER}. Look in ${PREFIX}/share/doc/majordomo for information and see the files and directories for an example list (example-l) in ${PREFIX}/share/examples/majordomo. Pay attention to the permissions on the files and directories. - add a .forward file in ${HOME}/${MAJORDOMO_USER} (or an appropriate alias) so administrative mail to ${MAJORDOMO_USER} gets redirected properly. - install majordomo aliases for sendmail. For example, create /etc/aliases.majordomo following the example in ${PREFIX}/share/examples/majordomo and add it to your sendmail configuration. This can be done by adding a line similar to the following to /etc/sendmail.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') - if the group for ${MAJORDOMO_USER} (${MAJORDOMO_GROUP}) is not daemon, add ${MAJORDOMO_USER} as a trusted user for sendmail. This can be done by adding a line similar to the following in /etc/sendmail.cf: T${MAJORDOMO_USER} or a line similar to the following to your m4 macros file: define(`confTRUSTED_USERS', ${MAJORDOMO_USER})dnl - be sure to run `newaliases' to create the sendmail database, and be sure that sendmail knows about any changes to /etc/sendmail.cf (e.g., reboot or restart sendmail) - add entries in /etc/newsyslog.conf to rotate the log in ${HOME}/${MAJORDOMO_USER}/Log if necessary. Enjoy Majordomo! ===========================================================================
