[Mailman-Developers] Mailman with Exim: README.EXIM to correct

[Leonhard Knauff]

Hallo,

I use (will use) Mailman 2.1.1 in a Solaris 8 Sun Cluster 3.0 High 
Availability Environment (with Exim 3.36). Therefore I installed the 
binaries, configurations, ... on each host of the cluster (so I can 
update on each host separate), and the variable data only one times 
on the shared disks:
   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mailman
               --with-var-prefix=/global/web/mailman

The different prefixes ($prefix, $varprefix) must reflect in the Exim 3
"configure" file now:

>   MAILMAN_HOME = /usr/local/mailman           #  OK,  $prefix
>   MAILMAN_VAR  = /global/web/mailman          # NEW,  $varprefix  !!!
>
>   mailman_director:
>      require_files= MAILMAN_VAR/lists/$local_part/config.pck
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^
                      CORRECTED !!!!!   Use of MAILMAN_HOME is wrong!

I think the same must be done in the  mailman_router  under Exim 4.

So the file README.EXIM should be updated.

The  mailman_transport  under Exim 3 seens to work.    :-)

Regards,
Leonhard Knauff
