Sendmail and Majordomo
Finally I got around setting up Majordomo with Sendmail. Yeah, I know, you are thinking: “Why the hell doesn’t he use Postfix and ...put your favourite mailing list software in here… to do the job?”
Well, the reasons for that are pretty simple. Sendmail is in the base install of OpenBSD and thus very well maintained and secure. Majordomo is just simple to set up and get going and all it needs is Perl which is also included in the base OpenBSD install. Basically all there is to it is to follow the install procedures which are pointed out after a successful:
$ cd /usr/ports && SUBDIR=mail/majordomo make install
In order to make everything work together with sendmail though, it is necessary to reconfigure sendmail a little bit. Basically the following line will do the trick:
define(`confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL',`GroupWritableIncludeFile,
GroupWritableIncludeFileSafe')
Detailed information about what this setting does can be found right here.
