We have released mailman 2.0.8-1 pkg for the SunCobalt RaQ3/4 You can find it at www.cobaltworld.com in our download section under pkgfactory Alpha/Beta
I must stress that this is very alpha there is still a lot of CLI stuff to do but the bare bones are there. I will release the srpm to anyone willing to assist in the development but I don't want to have 100 people all trying to impose their ideas we have no cvs yet so it could end up a nightmare to untangle. Please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you are interested in helping. What does the pkg do It creates a user and group mailman It creates a folder /home/mailman and installs mailman there with the correct permissions and configuration etc. It updates the aliases file with mailman: postmaster and mailman-owner: mailman and executes /usr/sbin/newalias It creates a softlink in /usr/adm/sm.bin of wrapper_mailman to /home/mailman/mail/wrapper It adds the Aliases and ScriptAliases required to srm.conf and then restarts Apache It copies 4 icons files over to /usr/admserv/icons What it does not do It doesn't set a password for mailman you need to SSH in and /home/mailman/bin/mmsitepass and then enter your chosen password for admin tasks It doesn't create a new list you need to /home/mailman/bin/newlist and enter the detail asked and then you need to manually create the entries for /etc/mail/aliases and /etc/mail/virtusertble REMEMBERING to hash them afterwards with /usr/sbin/newalias and an example of a test list entry in /etc/mail/aliases ## test mailing list ## created: 18-Mar-2002 mailman test: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper_mailman post test" test-admin: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper_mailman mailowner test" test-request: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper_mailman mailcmd test" test-owner: test-admin The entries for /etc/mail/aliases are given at the time you create a new list. Just remember to change in each one wrapper for wrapper_mailman. And this is how the entry at the virtusertable looks like (for list test and domain lists.example.com): [EMAIL PROTECTED] test [EMAIL PROTECTED] test-admin [EMAIL PROTECTED] test-request [EMAIL PROTECTED] test-owner Now the challenge as you can see there are still a lot of areas that require SSH and knowledge of your RaQ and areas that a novice could screw up so it would be real nice to wrapp all this into a UI in php for example - I will be making a start but I am more of an enabler than a programmer so if anyone out there wants to help on the UI that would be great. I have a feeling Jeff Lasman has already volunteered his documentation skills to useful projects. This project would really give something to the RaQ comunity for people not happy with Majodomo but we need to work as a comunity to achieve it. Please contact us if you feel you can help For a lot of this so far i have to thank Francisco Sánchez who very kindly sent me a step by step of his install allowing me to work through the install and subsequent spec file a lot quicker than ploughing through the manual and my local RPM guru Glen Gray at www.Antefacto.com for helping me sort out the bits that didn't work. _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
