Hello!
I've just tried to set up a local mail2news gateway on my
box - and failed miserably so far. :-)
I've set up my aliases like this and ran newaliases afterwards:
=================================================================
lists.earthdawn: "| /usr/bin/mail2news -o 'Visionaire \
Networks Mail2News Gateway dante' \
-n lists.earthdawn"
=================================================================
(this is one line in /etc/aliases - no use of "\" anywhere)
I get this error for every message that should go to the group:
=================================================================
1999-04-19 01:28:34 10Z0zK-0001o3-00 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED]
U=thomas P=local S=310
1999-04-19 01:28:34 10Z0zK-0001o3-00 Neither the system_aliases
director nor the address_pipe transport set a uid for local delivery
of | /usr/bin/mail2news -o 'Visionaire Networks Mail2News Gateway
dante' -n lists.earthdawn
=================================================================
This is the procmail recipe that passes the message to the mail2news
alias lists.earthdawn:
=================================================================
:0
* ^From.*earthdawn-owner
{
:0c:
! [EMAIL PROTECTED]
:0:
lists/earthdawn
}
=================================================================
(also saves a backup in lists/earthdawn - you never know...)
The system is Debian 2.0 with some updates:
=================================================================
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ [01:30:46] # dpkg -l | grep -e procmail -e exim -e newsgate
ii exim 1.92-3 Exim Mailer
ii newsgate 1.6-9 Mail to News and News to Mail Gateway
ii procmail 3.10.7-6 Versatile e-mail processor.
=================================================================
Anyone know what the error is?
