i have played around a little with my local sendmail, and i think something like the following *might* work. the idea is to have sendmail trigger qrunner whenever a message comes in. you can use multiple aliases, so why not use multiple scripts as recipients ? in /etc/aliases your-list: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post your-list |/usr/local/bin/qrun where qrun is #!/bin/bash sleep 60 # give sendmail the chance to process the first alias /your/path/to/qrunner please correct me if this is bullshit... best, jörn ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
