Some do. Such scripts are penny-ante stuff, not at all hard to write, but unfortunately, the desired result varies a lot from site to site. For example, ours go in a file called /etc/aliases.d/lists, and we add a couple of aliases that handle reasonable misinterpretations based on how other list managers do it, of how to get mail to the list owner. The postprocessing varies from what's shown below, too. > > su - mailman > bin/newlist foo > su > <edit /etc/mail/aliases> > newaliase > <edit /etc/mail/virtusertable> > makemap hash virtusertable < virtusertable > <restart sendmail> > > Actually, the problem with that is the bin/newlist should be done last as > it sends mail to the new list admin, and if done first, the list isn't > really setup yet. > > Thanks for the help! > > > > Bill Moseley > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Wilder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Technical Manager & Editor SSC, Inc.
