[techtalk] web- or mail-based sendmail aliases management?

2000-07-25 Thread Sheryl Weidner

Hi there,

I am attempting to avoid reinventing the wheel if such a wheel already
exists.  I have a sendmail (freeware, not pro) system in a small office of
engineers which should not require my manual intervention in order for
them to create mail aliases for themselves on the mail server.  However,
that doesn't mean I just want to open up root and have them all editing
the /etc/aliases file and remaking aliases all willy-nilly. :)

Ideally, I'm looking for some sort of web-based bit that can parse input
into entries in the /etc/aliases file and run newaliases.  Alternately, if
there's a utility out there that does so via e-mail commands from an
account on the local machine, I can build a PHP or javascript web front
end for it.

I've found a widget called aliasman.pl but am hoping to find something
that doesn't require I change the ownership of the aliases file altogether
(as it does).

Thanks an advance for any suggestions you folks might have.

[techtalk] [grrltalk] Elm question

2000-07-25 Thread Sally_Hutchinson

Whenever I send binary attachments with elm, they come across as ascii.  The
format I'm using is 

elm -s [subject] [recipient] < [filename]

I couldn't find anything in the manpage, is there a flag I can use to change
this?  Or should I just use a different mailer?  

-Sally

You need to encode the attachments (which elm, AFAIK, does not do
automatically). Are you doing this?
(If you aren't, or don't know what I'm talking about, look up
'mpack' or 'uuencode'; I don't remember the exact syntax of these
commands)
