1 Post-Install Notes for Majordomo
2 ================================
4 Before you can use Majordomo, you will need to complete a few steps manually:
6 - install majordomo.cf in @HOME@/@MAJORDOMO_USER@.
7 Look in @PREFIX@/share/examples/majordomo for an example and be sure
8 to change instances of @HOSTNAME@ as appropriate.
10 - create lists in @HOME@/@MAJORDOMO_USER@.
11 Look in @PREFIX@/share/doc/majordomo for information and see the
12 files and directories for an example list (example-l) in
13 @PREFIX@/share/examples/majordomo. Pay attention to the permissions
14 on the files and directories.
16 - add a .forward file in @HOME@/@MAJORDOMO_USER@ (or an appropriate
17 alias) so administrative mail to @MAJORDOMO_USER@ gets redirected
20 - install majordomo aliases for sendmail.
21 For example, create /etc/aliases.majordomo following the example in
22 @PREFIX@/share/examples/majordomo and add it to your sendmail
23 configuration. This can be done by adding a line similar to the
24 following to /etc/sendmail.cf :
26 OA/etc/aliases.majordomo (for 8.6.x Sendmail),
28 O AliasFile=/etc/aliases,/etc/aliases.majordomo (for 8.7.x and up),
30 or a line similar to the following to your m4 macros file:
32 define(`ALIAS_FILE',/etc/aliases,/etc/aliases.majordomo')
34 - if the group for @MAJORDOMO_USER@ (@MAJORDOMO_GROUP@) is not daemon,
35 add @MAJORDOMO_USER@ as a trusted user for sendmail. This can be
36 done by adding a line similar to the following in /etc/sendmail.cf :
40 or a line similar to the following to your m4 macros file:
42 define(`confTRUSTED_USERS', @MAJORDOMO_USER@)dnl
44 - be sure to run `newaliases' to create the sendmail database, and
45 be sure that sendmail knows about any changes to /etc/sendmail.cf
46 (e.g., reboot or rerun sendmail)
48 - add entries in /etc/newsyslog.conf to rotate the log in
49 @HOME@/@MAJORDOMO_USER@/Log if necessary
