Installing Majordomo
To install Majordomo, connect to your Virtual Private Server via
SSH,
su to root, and do the following:
NOTE: Majordomo is not for the faint at heart. Be sure
to review the documentation below before you attempt to use it. All questions sent to the Support
Staff with regard to Majordomo e-mail list configuration will be answered with a URL to this page.
- Install the Majordomo software:
# vinstall majordomo
- Change the directory permissions for /usr, /usr/local,
/usr/local/majordomo, and /usr/local/majordomo/Lists to 755:
# chmod 755 /usr /usr/local /usr/local/majordomo \
/usr/local/majordomo/Lists
- In the majordomo.cf file, change the definition of the $whereami variable from
YourCompany.COM to your domain name (see line 2). You can do this by using pico, a
simple, easy to use UNIX text editor:
# pico -w ~/usr/local/majordomo/majordomo.cf
Feel free to edit any other configuration variable in usr/local/majordomo/majordomo.cf to
your liking.
- Create E-Mail Aliases something like
the following.
# Majordomo Stuff
majordomo: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"
owner-majordomo: list_manager_e-mail_address
majordomo-owner: list_manager_e-mail_address
