Need Help with msg2archive

Hello Guys ...

I want to use Hypermails feature "msg2archive" to store the messages I'm receiving from a Mailinglist in HTML format. The readme that comes with "msg2archive" is unfortunately for a non Linux Guru like me not sufficient.

I followed so far these steps:

- installed the Hypermail RPM package (2b29)
- Downloaded the Hypermail src package
- made the following changes in lists.h:

#ifdef exchange
#define HYPERMAIL "/usr/bin/hypermail"
#define ARCHIVE "/home/httpd/html/archives/exchange"
#define MAILBOXDIR "/home/exchange/Mail"
#define LABEL "Exchange Mailing List"
#define ABOUT_LINK "../"
#define LISTNAME "exchange"
#define CONFIGFILE "NONE"

• made the following changes in Makefile.in: all: $(PROGS)

exchangemail: msg2archive.c lists.h

        $(CC) -Dexchange -o $_at_ msg2archive.c

exchange-rdmsg: mbox2hypermail.c lists.h

        $(CC) -Dexchange -o $_at_ mbox2hypermail.c

• compiled the lot and installed msg2archive in /usr/bin
• created a user called exchange
• adjusted the /etc/alias file:

#exchange: "!/usr/bin/msg2archive"

• ran newaliases
• wrote a testmessage to this user and got back the following error message:
  • The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "!/usr/bin/msg2archive" (expanded from: exchange_at_xxxxxx.net)
  • Transcript of session follows ----- 550 "!/usr/bin/msg2archive"... User unknown

Hmmm ... So something goes wrong .. I tried changing the entry in /etc/alias in:

exchange: "|usr/bin/msg2archive -A /home/httpd/html/archives/exchange -H /usr/bin/hypermail -M /home/exchange/Mail -L "Exchange-MailingList -l \"Exchange Mailing List\"""

This seems to do the trick but the titel for the pages are all wrong (stdin By Subject)

Offcourse I'm doing something wrong .... ;)

Any help will be appreciated !
