From: Sam Varshavchik <<URL:mailto:[email protected]>mrsam@courier- mta.com>The very first section of the couriermlm man page provides instructions for setting up a new list. What parts are you not sure about? not not provide that,i read and there's noplace that said that the mail list must be owed by a "x" users, only said that does not be owed by rootdoes not provide info if must be owed by any other users or if a user must be create to that!
From the couriermlm(1) man page:
Anyone can use couriermlm, not just the system administrator. The
Courier mail server mail server translates an address list-name@domain
as a local address with a corresponding dot-courier(5)[1] file. Anyone
that can install a dot-courier(5)[1] file, and can schedule cron(8)
jobs, can run a couriermlm mailing list.
If, in your home directory, you create a .courier file, who would be the
owner of that file? It won't be root. It's your userid. If you proceed and
execute the couriermlm commands that follow the above introduction, you will
create a new mailing list directory whose files will all be owned by your
userid, not root.
"The Courier mail server mail server translates an address list-name@domain as a local address with a corresponding dot-courier(5)[1] file."
This should be fairly clear. There's nothing special about the email address [email protected]. All it is, is a translated address that delivers to some .courier file in someone's home directory.
It should be obvious that when something runs commands from the .courier file, they would get executed using the account's userid, not root. Otherwise, that's an obvious security hole.
and second i ask for a use case of how-to or tutorial with steps..
The couriermlm man page provides step-by-step instructions in the "CREATING A MAILING LIST SECTION":
Run couriermlm create … Configure the mailing list … Create dot-courier files … Set up cron(8) … Back up subscription lists The rest of the man page continues and explains each one of those steps.
and another, courier feature a functionality that makes message deliver locally directly event out to the network, when the domain are listed in the local domain, but if i do that, each message that i try to send to the mail list raise this: "550 users lists does not exist" or "error 550: users xxx does not exist" this makes impossible to deliver or send messages to a mail list under same domain
I have mailing lists set up locally, and I have no problems sending mail to it.
