MailServ Mailing List Gateway
Troubleshooting
- General problems.
-
- Run "perl -c mailserv" to check the syntax of
the script.
- Also run "perl -c" on the config files that you
are using.
- Run the linked script from the command line. For
example, "./majordomo". The output should start
with "Content-type: text/html", followed by a
blank line, followed by the HTML for the form.
- Check your server's error log (for example, /usr/local/etc/httpd/logs/error_log)
- Run "perl -c mailserv" to check the syntax of
the script.
- When a user subscribes, email goes to the wrong address
- Some mailing list servers are configured to use the SMTP
envelope From header as the subscription address, so
the subscription will be sent to $owner or errors address
instead of to the address in the From: header.
If possible, you should configure your mailing list server to
use the From: header.
In particular, ListProc exhibits this problem, and must be patched before you can use MailServ with it. From the MLM FAQ:
Sometimes the MLM needs to be sure the person sending it a command is truly who he or she says. Forging mail is trivial, so the From: line really can't be trusted -- even so it's the only identification most MLM's require. Three exceptions: 1. ListProc 6.0c uses the envelope "From_" line, which is annoyingly different (the distribution does include a patch to make it use "From:" like everyone else). [...]
You also might have to edit your sendmail.cf file to configure your web server's UID as a "trusted" UID, so it can use the -f argument with sendmail.
