We are planning to implement spam blocking as I found in some
postings on the net.
Presenty, when we create a new list it sends an email of the form
The mailing list `xyz' has been created via the through-the-web
interface. In order to complete the activation of this mailing list,
the
proper /etc/aliases (or equivalent) file must be updated. The program
`newaliases' may also have to be run.
Here are the entries for the /etc/aliases file:
xyz: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman post xyz"
xyz-admin: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman admin xyz"
xyz-bounces: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman bounces xyz"
xyz-confirm: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman confirm xyz"
xyz-join: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman join xyz"
xyz-leave: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman leave xyz"
xyz-owner: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman owner xyz"
xyz-request: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman request xyz"
xyz-subscribe: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe xyz"
xyz-unsubscribe: "|/opt/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe xyz"
However, if we are implementing spam processing (I I understand things
properly) then we really need the above lines created to be
xyz: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc
post xyz"
xyz-admin: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc
admin xyz"
xyz-bounces: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc
bounces xyz"
xyz-confirm: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc
confirm xyz"
xyz-join: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc
join xyz"
xyz-leave: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc
leave xyz"
xyz-owner: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc
owner xyz"
xyz-request: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc
request xyz"
xyz-subscribe: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc
subscribe xyz"
xyz-unsubscribe: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m /etc/procmailrcs/mailman.rc
unsubscribe xyz"
Otherwise it will be necessary to process the aliases entries in some
way,
which I would like to avoid. Can that be automated so it generates the
proper lines in the email output?
Thanks,
