Hi,
I maintain a Dive club website on a hosted server and need to maintain a
mailing list.
The server runs sendmail and accepts smtp mail to our domain.
Incoming mail can be piped through unix commands, eg. |/path/to/qmail-inject
We dont have root access and cant change the inbound mail system.
Also we only have a single unix userid and group 'unidive'.
I would like to use qmail for the mailing list - easy with a single file eg.
'.qmail-members' listing our member emails.
All mail will be remote deliveries.
I dont need qmail-local or qmail-smtp, so should be able to do what I want
without root.
I have built qmail binaries using the 'unidive' user / group for all 8 lines
in conf-users and 2 in conf-groups.
I can queue a mail with qmail-inject, and see it is queued with qmail-qstat.
Now I want to deliver the mail:
- When I try and run qmail-start, the process just silently exits.
- When I try and run qmail-send, the process just stops (but doesnt exit).
Any advice on how I can run a 'send-only' qmail without root would be
appreciated.
Thanks
Mike.
