[vps-mail] more VPS2 Newbie questions

[Matt Cohen <lists@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry, I didn't see this in the archives;

0.5) I got my majordomo working - I must have typo'ed somewhere cause 
when i went from scratch and nuked all my existing lists and did the 
test list it works fine.  so I feel able to move on ...

1)I found out from support that Mailman doesn't operate under suexec 
in a sub-hosted mode - i..e in order to provide mailman for a client 
I have to let them operate all their CGI scripts and PHP scripts as 
root, just like on a VPS1.  Seems kinda silly to push it on the 
support pages in this case.

[Note to ViaVerio - update your docs to this effect, including the 
fact that Mailman is not available as a vinstall on VPS2, unlike what 
your support pages say]

I wonder, has anyone figured out a work-around, like providing a 
sub-domain (lists.domain.com) that users use just for mailman?  Or is 
everyone using DadaMail or majordomo, which as Abigail says, is old 
and obsolete?

2)Had some initial Confusion on SpamAssassin, since I couldn't find 
the procmailrc file that told SA to run.  Turns out there's a /etc/ 
and /etc/mail/ and /usr/local/etc/ directory, and they all house 
different things.  Ok, I can RTFM on that one, but just a tip for 
other newbies - the one you want is in /usr/local/etc/procmailrc

However, I was copying my procmail files from my VPS1 account and 
noticed that they referenced SA with the command:

:0fw
|/usr/local/bin/spamc -U /var/run/spamd.sock

whereas the VPS2 install from imanager2 uses:

:0fw
|/usr/local/bin/spamassassin

I'm confused - I thought that running SA thru spamd was much more 
efficient than running it thru the spamassassin program defaults? the 
2nd line is what imanager 2.11 installs on my VPS2, and you gotta 
trust Rus, right?

'night,

thanx,
Matt
