Hello Guys ...
I want to use Hypermails feature "msg2archive" to store the messages I'm
receiving from a Mailinglist in HTML format. The readme that comes with
"msg2archive" is unfortunately for a non Linux Guru like me not
sufficient.
I followed so far these steps:
- installed the Hypermail RPM package (2b29)
- Downloaded the Hypermail src package
- made the following changes in lists.h:
#ifdef exchange
#define HYPERMAIL "/usr/bin/hypermail"
#define ARCHIVE "/home/httpd/html/archives/exchange"
#define MAILBOXDIR "/home/exchange/Mail"
#define LABEL "Exchange Mailing List"
#define ABOUT_LINK "../"
#define LISTNAME "exchange"
#define CONFIGFILE "NONE"
- made the following changes in Makefile.in:
all: $(PROGS)
exchangemail: msg2archive.c lists.h
$(CC) -Dexchange -o $@ msg2archive.c
exchange-rdmsg: mbox2hypermail.c lists.h
$(CC) -Dexchange -o $@ mbox2hypermail.c
- compiled the lot and installed msg2archive in /usr/bin
- created a user called exchange
- adjusted the /etc/alias file:
#exchange: "!/usr/bin/msg2archive"
- ran newaliases
- wrote a testmessage to this user and got back the following error
message:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"!/usr/bin/msg2archive"
(expanded from: exchange@xxxxxx.net)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 "!/usr/bin/msg2archive"... User unknown
Hmmm ... So something goes wrong .. I tried changing the entry in
/etc/alias in:
exchange: "|usr/bin/msg2archive -A /home/httpd/html/archives/exchange -H
/usr/bin/hypermail -M /home/exchange/Mail -L "Exchange-MailingList -l
\"Exchange Mailing List\"""
This seems to do the trick but the titel for the pages are all wrong
(stdin By Subject)
Offcourse I'm doing something wrong .... ;)
Any help will be appreciated !
Greetings,
Josh
