I was setting up MinorDomo on a 5.9 box, and it didn't want to work, so I tried MajorDomo, thinking that I must have screwed up with the major domo config stuff. <P>I checked the FAQ's and talked to the guy who wrote minor domo, seems the problem might just be on the sendmail side. <P>Here is the errors in the mail log <BR> Apr 12 22:22:17 power sendmail[5505]: WAA05504: to="|/usr/sbin/minordomo.pl", delay=00:00:02, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, stat=Service unavailable <BR> Apr 12 22:22:17 power sendmail[5505]: WAA05504: WAA05505: DSN: Service unavailable <BR> Apr 14 09:21:35 power sendmail[9120]: JAA09119: to="|/usr/sbin/minordomo.pl", delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, stat=Service unavailable <BR> Apr 14 09:21:35 power sendmail[9120]: JAA09119: JAA09120: DSN: Service unavailable <BR> Apr 14 16:46:28 power sendmail[11968]: QAA11968: to="|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper majordomo", delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=prog, stat=Service unavailable <BR> Apr 14 16:46:28 power sendmail[11968]: QAA11968: QAB11968: DSN: Service unavailable <P> Same error, no matter which mailer I use. Sendmail seems to be working, I am pretty sure (pine and netscape for users allow mail to be sent, cron is sending me some errors to root like crazy), but for some reason the mailing list apps can't use it. I am guessing some configuration file is just overly secure? I don't know much about sendmail, I poked around, but I can't find the error. <P>If this is just a bug, I'll keep an eye out for the newer version.. If this is just a security setting in a config file, I would be really thankfull if you could send me a not as to what to edit. <P>Thanks. <P>PS, 5.9 rocks, if it stablizes out by 6.0, Red Hat will score BIG BIG BIG.. E+Gnome is very slick looking and working, although unstable during configuration, but that's a whole seperat thing I am sure Raster is hard at work on.
Still a problem on 6.0 :-( I REALLY depended on MinorDomo, on the mailing list there was a discussion, but I can't seem to get it to work yet, here is what they think: From: "Jonathan S. Keim" <jonkeim.EDU> Wed 09:04 Subject: Re: hmm...minordomo error To: minordomo-list I was having this problem for a while. The way I fixed it took some trial and error, but it works okay now. (Plus, this method closes a couple of old security holes in sendmail, thanks to smrsh.) First you have to enable smrsh for sendmail (if you're using sendmail) in the sendmail.cf file. The easiest way to do that is using the m4 macro tool. There are instructions on the web about that, although I can't remember where. (Maybe the sendmail.org site?) The man pages for m4 and smrsh were very helpful. Then, after enabling smrsh, you can put a symbolic link to the minordomo script at /usr/adm/sm.bin/minordomo.pl. That lets smrsh access the script. This took me hours to figure out on my own, but it shouldn't be too hard to reproduce. Good luck. Jon. From: "Jonathan S. Keim" <jonkeim.EDU> Wed 09:09 Subject: Re: hmm...minordomo error To: minordomo-list I forgot: in the redhat-nospam.mc file (yours may be just redhat.mc or maybe something else) the lines exist define(`confEBINDIR', `/usr/sbin/smrsh') FEATURE(smrsh) these are what enable the smrsh feature in the redhat distribution's mc file. then you just build the cf file and place it in the /etc/ directory. jon.
did you get it to work?
closed due to lack of feedback.
