From: Alex Krowitz

I'm trying to add an incoming email gateway to my 1.9 installation. The name of the forum is "ss", and I'm running RedHat 6.0. In my /etc/aliases file, I have: ss: "| /home/httpd/cgi-bin/HyperNews/.scripts/mail-incoming.pl -f /ss" The HyperNews setup seems OK: % ls -l /home/httpd/cgi-bin/HyperNews/.scripts/mail-incoming.pl -r-xr-xr-x 1 httpd www 18787 Jun 3 1996 mail-incoming.pl When I send a message to ss@domain, I receive the following mail in reply: This is a MIME-encapsulated message --RAA11759.936394151/turing.kronos.com The original message was received at Fri, 3 Sep 1999 17:29:09 -0400 from alex@localhost ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "| /home/httpd/cgi-bin/HyperNews/.scripts/mail-incoming.pl -f /ss" (expanded from: ss@turing.kronos.com) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- sh: mail-incoming.pl not available for sendmail programs 554 "| /home/httpd/cgi-bin/HyperNews/.scripts/mail-incoming.pl -f /ss"...
