After upgrading to 1.3 with the default sendmail.cf, I get the error
messages below from a user-managed mailing list. I have in /etc/aliases:
test: :include:/home/feyrer/lib/test-ml.txt
owner-test: test-owner
test-owner: feyrer
/home/feyrer/lib/test-ml.txt contains:
/home/feyrer/lib/test-ml.archive
"|/usr/local/hypermail-102/bin/hypermail -u -i -d /home/feyrer/lib/test-ml.html"
hubert.feyrer@rz.uni-regensburg.de
>From these above three lines, the first two fail. While i can more or
less understand that sendmail complains that it doesn't want to run
hypermail, i really do wonder why it won't append the message to
/home/feyrer/lib/test-ml.archive, too. BTW, all the files (test-ml.txt,
test-ml.archive, ...) are owned by a non-root user.
I'd really like to keep things this way, without cluttering my
/etc/aliases. Is there some way to convince sendmail to work with this setup?
TIA,
Hubert
