[OFF TOPIC] majordomo and exim

[Keith Robinson <kar@foomonster.co.uk>]

Hi all,

I tried this on majordomo-users, but to no avail as yet.  So I was just wondering whther anybody here might be able to help me.  I run a woody set up, with exim as my mta and want to use majordomo to deal with some mailing lists I want to set up.  I installed from source, as I couldn't find a majordomo deb package.

I am trying to set up majordomo alongside exim, but everytime I mail majordomo (majordomo@my_domian), the mail is frozen and remains undelivered until I remove it from the queue.

I have listed below all relevant details (so excuse the length of this mail).  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance.

I have a user majordom and the main files are:

/home/majordom/runtime/_where_majordomo_files_are_located
/home/majordom/lists/

I also have three files in /home/majordomo/lists:

myersbriggs (just an empty file)
myersbriggs.passwd (contains a three character password)
myersbriggs.resend (contains -l myersbriggs -h dynamiccompany.co.uk mysersbriggs-doit,nobody)

In /home/majordom/.bashrc:

PATH=$PATH":/home/majordom/runtime/bin"

In my exim.conf I have the following:

trusted_users = mail : majordom

...

majordomo_aliases:
  driver = aliasfile
  file = /etc/aliases
  search_type = lsearch
  user = majordom
  group = majordom

My /etc/aliases file reads:

postmaster: root
root: john

mail: root
majordom: root

# majordomo
majordomo: "|/home/majordom/runtime/wrapper majordomo"
owner-majordomo: john
majordomo-owner: john
majordomo: john

# mailing-lists

owner-myersbriggs: john
myersbriggs: "| /home/majordom/runtime/wrapper resend
@/home/majordom/lists/myersbriggs.resend"
myersbriggs-approval: owner-myersbriggs
myersbriggs-doit: :include:/home/majordom/lists/myersbriggs
owner-myersbriggs-doit: owner-myersbriggs
myersbriggs-request: "/home/majordom/runtime/wrapper request-answer myersbriggs"
owner-myersbriggs-request: owner-myersbriggs



majordomo.cf - I only made one modification to the default file:

$whereami = "dynamiccompany.co.uk";


Finally, the output of ./wrapper config-test:

You're running Majordomo Version 1.94.5.

You have defined a mailer for delivery.
Attempting to verify that this is a valid mailer...looks okay.
You have defined a mailer for delivering administrative messages.
Attempting to verify that this is a valid mailer...looks okay.
------------------ Checking majordomo.cf ------------------
Checking to see if there are new variables that should be in
your majordomo.cf file...Nope, none that I see.

Have you configured where Majordomo is?
        $whereami is dynamiccompany.co.uk
Good: yup!
----------------------- end of tests -----------------------


Nothing bad found!  Majordomo _should_ work correctly.


And that's the lot!  Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm completely stuck.  I reckon it must be the wrapper section in the aliases file, but beyond that...

Thanks again in advance
