Does anyone know of a mailing list program that will compile easily for Mac OS X server? I would try majordomo (as it suits my needs), but it's default username is "majordomo", and OSX Server limits the short name to 8 characters.
I would rather not have to compile/install stuff to be able to compile/install the mailing list program if possible. (That was the draw to majordomo)
I have email already working the way I want it to with sendmail, so something that interfaces that would be helpful, as well.
Or, even better, one that has already been done, or can be installed through *shudder* fink.

OK, so I got PHP, MySQL, and Python installed.
Got Mailman compiled and installed, but I'm having trouble with the setup.
I'm having trouble creating mail aliases per the directions (ie. do I do this in NetInfo, /etc/aliases, or /etc/mail/aliases). Adding aliases using netinfo doesn't seem to do anything.
I can't send email to any of the aliases, the server responds with a "user not found". If I add to /etc/aliases, and run "newaliases", I get errors.
If I run "sudo newaliases", I get the following error:
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 89: fileclass:
cannot open /etc/mail/local-host-names:
Group writable directory
WARNING: local host name (localhost) is not
qualified; fix $j in config file
WARNING: Group writable directory /
The problem with the local-host-names file, is that Apple's implementation using the GUI mail configurator takes care of the local host names, but doesn't add them to this file.
I have mailman installed at /mailman, and I have http://lists.macostraining.com/ pointing to that directory. But, when I use that url, and say "listinfo/" at the end, I get not found. If I do "mailman/listinfo/" at the end of the URL, then it gets there. It doesn't make sense.
Here's the modifications I made to the /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file.
I changed # Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews to Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
I added
Alias /pipermail/ /mailman/archives/public/
and
ScriptAlias /mailman/ /mailman/cgi-bin/
Other than that, it's the standard apple setup httpd.conf file for OS X Server.
