Thanks! I understand now. I changed my code to do DEFAULT=EXT2. I also changed the code to open a pipe directly to couriermlm instead of relying on dynamic delivery, and now it works. I now only have a single .courier-default, containing "|./wrapper" and creating and deleting lists has become easier :) If anyone's interested, find my finished wrapper below: #!/usr/bin/python import os, sys, string ext = os.environ['EXT'] mlm = '/usr/lib/courier/bin/couriermlm' sendmail = '/usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail' owneraddress = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' if os.environ['EXT2'] == 'owner': # dispatch to list owner command = sendmail + ' -f "' + os.environ['SENDER'] + '" ' + owneraddress elif '-' in ext: # dispatch to list controller command = mlm + ' ctlmsg ' + string.split(ext,'-')[0] else: # address has no special actions, so likely a list # dispatch to list command = mlm + ' msg ' + ext # DEFAULT contains listname-command. Change it to contain the command only os.environ['DEFAULT']=os.environ['EXT2'] c=os.popen(command,'w') c.write(sys.stdin.read()) sys.exit(c.close()/256) -- Anand Buddhdev http://anand.org ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Caffeinated soap.
