The majordomo and mailman were a bit more than what I was looking for. The minimalist port does look like it does exactly what I'm looking for, but I'm having an issue getting it configured.
My minimalist port seems to have been installed in '/usr/local/share/minimalist' and the config file appears to be in '/usr/local/etc/minimalist.conf'. All files are under the '/usr/local/share' folder except the minimalist.conf in '/usr/local/etc'
I have set the directory directive to '/usr/local/share/minimalist' in the '/usr/local/etc/minimalist.conf' and created my list directories under there, but I am not able to see it when I send 'info' message to 'minimalist at domain.com'.
reply from server for email with 'info' as subject:
These are the mailing lists available at email.domain.com:
--
Sincerely, the Minimalist
under /usr/local/share/minimalist:
My list.lst file has:
farm The Farm mailing list.
south Mailing list for Southern area.
I have the farm and south directories with a very short list file:
list:
ric at domain.com
brad at domain.com
my /usr/local/etc/minimalist.conf (only non-commented lines)
minimalist.conf
directory = /usr/local/share/minimalist
password = 12345
admin = brad at domain.com
auth = mailfrom brad at domain.com:@/usr/local/etc/mml.trusted
Any ideas where I might be going wrong? The mechanism seems to be working, as I can send messages to 'minimalist' and get info, but its not seeing my lists.
Thanks
