I just installed a test of Listserv lite. all went well, but mailing
into it gets me the error message from sendmail:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
"|/usr/local/bin/lsv_amin /home/listserv/spool owner-listserv"
(expanded from: owner-listserv)
----- Transcript of session follows -----
sh: lsv_amin not available for sendmail programs
554 "|/usr/local/bin/lsv_amin /home/listserv/spool owner-listserv"... Service unavailable
The pipe is in /etc/aliases as the alias for listserv and is as
given in the install docs. The program in /usr/local/bin is
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23676 May 4 13:22 lsv_amin
and the target spool directory tree is owned by listserv, grouped
to root, and had chmod -R ugo+x on it.
Questions: what exactly does "not available" mean? It's obviously
a bare-faced lie, as the program is executable by sendmail and
the directories are writable...or is their some weirdness in
sendmail going on here?
