Twice I tried to send as an attachment the updated versions of the files I 
had to change to get zmailer/majordomo working.  The mail is not going 
through - I must be exceeding some limit someplace.  

As an alternative, I have used FTP to get a copy to csuite.chebucto.ns.ca 
in my macneil account.  Landon, can you pick it up from there?

I have attached the README I prepared to go with it for your information.

If the original mail does eventually go through, my apologies for the 
duplication.

Gerard.


---------- Forwarded message ----------
The problem with zmailer/majordomo ended up being very complicated. 
Customizations made at Chebucto have not been made to the CSuite
distributed zmailer and majordomo.  Resolving the problems was further
complicated since the distributed versions of both of these programs are
upgrades from the version running on Chebucto.

The problems identified and resolved included:
        * a typo that was causing a configuration file read failure with
          majordomo
        * Chebucto configuration file customizations that did not make it
          into the distribution for both zmailer and majordomo
        * the directory structure was mis-configured, preventing zmailer
          from successfully retrieving the list owner, so majordomo ending
          up sending "approval" mail to the default - nobody

When I figured out and solved those problems, I had new ones:
        * custom programs written for Chebucto to let majordomo work with
          zmailer were missing
        * majordomo list file permission setting from CSuite programs were
          incompatable with zmailer.

The attached file has all the files that I had to modify/include to get 
zmailer and majordomo to cooperate.  There is also a README to document 
the changes that I made.

In conclusion, Mailing Lists do not work in the CSuite-1.0-Beta1 
distribution.   These changes got them working on WWHCN.
