Hey all,

I am having a problem getting mailman to work with sendmail in regards

to the aliases.

Debian 2.2 Sendmail 8.9.3-23 Mailman 2.0.5

I have compiled mailman using the correct mail-gid and cgi-gid for my

system. I have setup the following aliases in the /etc/aliases file:

mbslug: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post mbslug" mbslug-admin: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner mbslug" mbslug-request: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd mbslug" mbslug-owner: mbslug-admin

And I have run newaliases, however I am still receiving the following

when trying to confirm subscriptions. (I'm using OE because I'm currently at work so please don't flame me.) Any assitance would be appreciated.

Mbslug -- confirmation of subscription -- request 644818

We have received a request from 205.158.75.34 for subscription of your email address, <catnthat@rootslash.org>, to the mbslug@mbslug.org mailing list. To confirm the request, please send a message to mbslug-request@mbslug.org, and either:

• maintain the subject line as is (the reply's additional "Re:" is ok),

• or include the following line - and only the following line - in the message body:

confirm 644818

(Simply sending a 'reply' to this message should work from most email interfaces, since that usually leaves the subject line in the right form.)

If you do not wish to subscribe to this list, please simply disregard this message. Send questions to mbslug-admin@mbslug.org.
