ok, this one is tough. I am writing 4 scripts- 2 sdevlope webforms, and are
done, no problem. The other two respectively create or destroy email lists. Or
at least that's the goal.
Sendmail is VERY persnickity about permissions and ownerships for the aliases
files- at least. I have edited sendmail.cf so it compiles from a second
aliases file, aliases.tinylist, which is in /etc/mail, and it reads the file
fine. Note the webscript runs by apache (as nobody) cannot write to the /mail
dir; it bombs at this point.
If I set the dir so other identities can write to it, sendmail get's VERY
upset when I issue the newaliases command.
so either it accepts the file, but I cannot write to it, or I cannot write to
it, but it accepts the file. sigh...
What's a fellow to do? Please advise.
