I'm trying to setup the listar MLM on my e-smith server
I created a user called listar
I've installed the rpm, moved the files from /home/listar to /home/e-
smith/files/users/listar/home, and created a symbolic link that
points /home/listar to that directory (just in case...)
Now...
In sendmail, I would just edit the /etc/aliases file, which covers all mail
aliases for the system (not sure abt. virtual domains though), with the
following lines:
listar: "|/home/listar/listar"
listar-owner: user@my.host.dom
Which creates an email alias that redirects the messages to the listar
application, and an email alias which redirect messages to a user
How can I do this on e-smith with qmail?
I've tried to understand qmail, the e-smith template customization, and read
Darrell's howto on aliases for virtual domains. I still do not know how to do
it. Can someone please help.
I'll put together a howto when I'm done.

Actually no - ezmlm (or more correctly ezmlm & ezmlm.idx) *are* in rpm contrib form and provide a list creation mechanism in the web manager.
Take a look at my howto for installation under 4.1.2 in the contrib section:
