Hi all,
I'm new to the PLUG list. My Linux experience is minimal. I'm running
(with root access) my own web hosting (virtual private) server and
need to be able to interface FUDforum[1] into my mail server so
message can be gated between a mailing list and the forums.
My web host is cpanel/whm based with Exim running as the MTA and it's
on User Mode Linux (is this a distro, or does it only create the
"virtual-ness"?). The manual discusses[2] adding a rule for procmail
to pipe the message to a script that comes with FUDforum called
maillist.php. Apparently, from there, maillist.php will handle the
rest.
My problem is, I don't know how to add procmail after the message hits
Exim. I assume that would be the right place, but don't know if it is.
Or, would there be a better way that makes more sense? Note that this
is independent of the mailing list. As I understand it, I would
subscribe the forum as an additional user of the existing mailing list
and the newly-registered user's email from the mailing list would land
at the mail server, eventually get handled by procmail which would
then pipe it to maillist.php.
Can someone please provide a little guidance as to how I would do this?
Thanks for your help.
Oh, and, "Hi, Gene Holmerud!" :-)
BTW, I'd like to come to a meeting. I live at 23rd Ave and Southern.
Can someone recommend to me which meeting I should go to? I'm an
advanced computer user with very old and mostly-forgotten memories of
Linux. My main Linux experience these days is via SSH bashing.
