Good Day, I recently had a customer ask me about setting up trailers on his mailing lists. After a day of trial and error and searching for the missing piece of my puzzle, I am finally at the conclusion that I should ask. It appears that the problem is that the contents of the text directory are not being populated when the "edit text files" for remote administration setting is enabled. In my investigation, I have come to understand that the settings for allowing remote administration and editing of text files by moderators must be enabled in order to enable trailers. so I have set up a testlist with those settings enabled, however, the setting for including the trailer will not stay on, and sending a message to edit the file returns a message saying the file doesn't exist. On the server, when I enable the remote administration and the editing files settings, a text directory is created in the domain's directory in vpopmail, however it is empty. I have been able to work around the problem by copying the contents of the text directory from the main ezmlm config (stored in /etc/ezmlm/default/text on my system) into the newly created text directory and setting the appropriate permissions on those files. Now that I have the files existing where qmailadmin apparently wants to see them, I can send the mail commands that modify the trailer, and the include a trailer option will stay enabled in the qmailadmin gui. This work around is okay for stuff I am doing, but it will basically mean that a customer cannot modify this stuff on his own without me copying those files on the server. Not that I mind, but life would be better if it wasn't required. I have searched the help files, I have searched google, I have tried various combinations of settings, and I have searched the configure script for building qmailadmin for some clue as to how to make this work without my manual copying technique. If such a document exists that explains what I am missing, I cannot find it. I would greatly appreciated it if someone could point me at my missing piece to the puzzle...
