I was just going over Russ' script for securing a mailing list:
|grep "^[#&]$SENDER$" ".qmail-$EXT" || (echo "You are not authorized to
send mail to this list."; exit 1)
&address
&address
...
Then I wanted to use qmail to handle subscriptions, BUT qmail seems
to dislike this arrangement because qlist sets the x bit and qmail
rejects the pipe *because* the x bit is set. Fun, huh?
Here's the question. Is it acceptable to chmod u-x the file in the
.qmail-listname-request file? Would this work? Can anyone think of
any drawbacks?
Vince.
