Post-Install Notes for Majordomo
================================

Before you can use Majordomo, you will need to complete a few steps
manually:

    - customize 'majordomo.cf' in your majordomo directory

    - look at 'aliases.majordomo-sample' in your majordomo directory for
      examples of how to create lists. Before editing, copy this list to
      where you keep your alias files (for example, copy it to
      /etc/aliases.majordomo. A test list (test-l) has been created and
      configured for you. Be sure to remove this list if you do not want
      to use it for testing.

    - substitute your own email address for "Postmaster" for the
      "majordomo-owner" alias.

    - add 'aliases.majordomo' to your sendmail configuration.  This can
      be done by adding a line similar to the following to 
      /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and /etc/mail/submit.cf:

      OA/etc/aliases.majordomo
      (for 8.6.x Sendmail)
      
      O AliasFile=/etc/aliases,/etc/aliases.majordomo
      (for 8.7.x and up)

      or a line similar to the following to your m4 macros file :

      define(`ALIAS_FILE',`/etc/aliases,/etc/aliases.majordomo')

      Sendmail will need a restart after this.

    - consider using ports/mail/tlb to process your deliveries if you
      want to hide your outgoing aliases.  This way you can prevent people
      from evading restrictions for posting to your lists.

    - to prepare proper permissions for the wrapper script, run
      ports/mail/majordomo/scripts/adaptwrapper (if it has not already
      been run)

Enjoy Majordomo!
