Very Computer

Hallo!

I just installed majordomo and am having some problems with sendmail.

I added an alias file for majordomo to sendmail.cf:

        OA/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/majordomo.aliases
        Tmajordomo (<-- since alias file has majordomo right)

I also created a database
/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/majordomo.aliases.db for sendmail with chmod
644.

When I send an email from user to user, it works but I get the following
notice:

        Cannot open hash database                                      
/usr/local/majordomo-1.94.5/majordomo.aliases.db: Invalid argument

What could be the problem?

Thanks for your help.

Numerous are possible, first you should only edit (hack) sendmail.cf
if you're really sure, you know what you're doing. Using m4 is the
preferred way to create sendmail.cf.

Checking the docs on sendmail.org and using the
Majordomo-MajorCool-HOWTO would be another idea.

However, how did you create the majordomo.aliases.db?
(using makemap?)

Type sendmail -bi to rebuild the database.

I know what I'm doing... can you please teach me?

Hi!

I just created the file with touch.

However, now it is working. I read some docs and found that the database
had the wrong rights (needs 644). I rebuilt the database with sendmail
-bi and now it works.

Thanks.
