Yeah, I know, you are thinking: &#8220;Why the hell doesn&#8217;t he use <a href="http://www.postfix.org/">Postfix</a> and <em>...put your favourite mailing list software in here&#8230;</em> to do the job?&#8221;</p> <p>Well, the reasons for that are pretty simple. Sendmail is in the base install of <a href="http://openbsd.bytelabs.org">OpenBSD</a> and thus very well maintained and secure. Majordomo is just simple to set up and get going and all it needs is <a href="http://www.perl.org/">Perl</a> 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:</p> <code>$ cd /usr/ports &#38;&#38; SUBDIR=mail/majordomo make install </code> <p>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:</p> <code>define(`confDONT_BLAME_SENDMAIL',`GroupWritableIncludeFile, GroupWritableIncludeFileSafe')</code> <p>Detailed information about what this setting does can be found <a href="http://www.sendmail.org/tips/DontBlameSendmail.html">right here</a>.</p> Tue, 04 Oct 2005 17:07:00 +0000 urn:uuid:f710539a888c01c207e71cc49f3a6d6b igor http://blog.solaris.bytelabs.org/articles/2005/10/04/sendmail-and-majordomo Hacking and Computers http://blog.solaris.bytelabs.org/articles/trackback/10
