It installs OK.
Why do you distribute patches/patch-minimalist_conf instead of
having those changes present in the example minimalist.conf?
What's the UPDATE file for?

This does not work as is: either the test email needs
to be sent by 'postmaster', which is the only user subscribed
to the 'minimalist-example' list, or the sending user needs
to subscribe first:
$ mail -s 'subscribe minimalist-example' minimalist@localhost < /dev/null
Also, when sending locally then, as in
$ echo test | mail -s test minimalist-example
the logfile says
Use of uninitialized value $dom in concatenation (.) or string
at /dev/fd/3 line 1998.
Apart from that, it works. Thank you!
With the original minimalist, the alias line would need to be
minimalist-example: "|/usr/local/sbin/minimalist.pl minimalist-example"
(i.e. the name of the list passed as argument). Do I understand it
correctly that your minimalist parses the To header itself and
thus does not need it?
Thanks again
