I am on a shared cpanel server with Mailman meing installed by the host at the root I think. Is virtusertable a file or a table in mysql? If it is file, what is the extension and path where it is found. Same question for aliases below.



virtusertable is a mailserver configuration file. Mine is in
/usr/local/etc/mail

along with the alias file. However this is my Exim setup, yours may be different. I don't know what difference cPanel may make. Best ask your host for the exact locations on your server.

you have used "FUDForum-test:" with FUD caps and above that in the virtusertable code you have used "fudforum-test" with fud small. Should I do the same or both should be same?


Yes! I noticed that. Best to stick to one or the other really. I'm going to change mine to lower case for consistancy.

Do you I need to pipe these two destinations in the alias table if I make the above two changes and do I need make the above two changes if I make this pipe to two destinations in the alias table. Can you please tell me where this alias table can be found and the filename if any? I am really sorry as I am a total novice.


No, I was just showing you two differnt ways of doing this. I think my current way of using a special subscriber to send messages it receives from Mailman on to FUDForum is the best way. You could have one line in your alias file piping to Mailman and FUDForum - in this case just add the pipe to the end of the current Mailman pipe which will look something like...

test:    "|/home/mailman/mail/mailman post test"


However this means that anyone who is not a member of your (say) member only list and who knows its address will be able to post messages directly to your forum. That's why I prefer and use my first option of having a subscriber which sends messages which have already passed through Mailman to the forum. It means any subscription checks have been done by Mailman and only members can post. No spam!

Any help?
