Hello all,
I tried to install Smartlist 3.15 on my Linux box but I cannot get it worked properly.
When I subscribe e-mails everything works fine. One letter comes to subscriber and one multigram letter arrives to mailbox of maintainer. Showdist command shows correct values too.
When I send message to t@sphinx.strace.net, nobody gets messages except maintainer.
I tried to use listname-dist alias in sendmail aliases.db but it doesn't work too.
To make clean output I made new "t" mailing list and subscribe two new addresses. Than I sent test message to t@sphinx.strace.net. Message was received by maintainer only (eye-admin@stace.net).
Here is the dist file, aliases and logfile.
DIST FILE: (Only addresses below this line can be automatically removed) ygs@strace.net sales@strace.net
ALIASES: t: "|exec /home/slist/.bin/flist t" t-request: "|exec /home/slist/.bin/flist t-request"
I suspect it's your aliases. Very likely a sendmail config problem, not a SmartList problem. Every sendmail for at least the last 4-5 years comes by default configured to use 'smrsh', the sendmail restricted shell. So you need to make links to your SmartList binaries where sendmail is looking for them, and change your alias format slightly, since it no longer needs/uses paths. (It only looks in one dir.)
Here is my /etc/smrsh directory:
(5:16am)l /etc/smrsh/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Oct 3 1999 flist -> /home/list/.bin/flist lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Oct 3 1999 procmail -> /usr/bin/procmail lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jul 8 2000 slocal -> /usr/lib/nmh/slocal lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Feb 28 2003 spamtrap -> /usr/local/bin/spamtrap
And here are some sample config lines. Note the shorter format, since we dropped the path info:
autopilot: "| flist autopilot" autopilot-request: "| flist autopilot-request" autopilot-dist: :include:/home/list/autopilot/dist
Hope this helps! :-)
