Installation - Email Signup / bounce.cgi - 3 Setup Email Aliases - Sendmail (.procmailrc) Email Aliases with Sendmail / Procmail First, modify bounce.cgi and signup-list1.cgi to contain your ListMail URL. Then, upload them to your cgi-bin directory and CHMOD (set permissions) them to 755. Your server should support procmail. If you're unsure, ask your host. We need to put a file called .procmailrc in your HOME directory. Open a new file with a text-editor such as Notepad. Copy & paste the following lines of text: :0 * ^TO_bounce@yoursite.com | /path/to/your/cgi-bin/bounce.cgi :0 * ^TO_signup@yoursite.com | /path/to/your/cgi-bin/signup-list1.cgi Replace bounce@yoursite.com with your ListMail bounce address. Replace signup@yoursite.com with the signup address of your choice. Replace /path/to/your/cgi-bin with the full server path to your cgi-bin. If you have created additional signup scripts, you can add those too. Copy the 3 line format above for as many addresses as you want and files as you have set up. Save the file as procmailrc.txt, or similar, in a temporary folder that will be easy to access with your FTP program. Upload the file into your home directory (not your public html directory, the one up from that) and rename the new remote file to .procmailrc Note: The reason for renaming these files once they've been uploaded is because on a Windows platform you can't have a file with a period as the first letter of the filename, ie: .procmailrc, or otherwise. It is recommended that you rename the file once you have uploaded it with FTP. If the above procedure doesn't work, ask your host to create an alias for you. For sendmail they may need to edit the /etc/aliases file. Make sure to inform them about the correct path to bounce.cgi and ask that all emails to your bounce address are forwarded through the cgi script. Next:QMail (.qmail) Also: Test Mail Settings
