1ecartis for DEBIAN
2---------------------
3
4Ecartis will not work until you configure it. Please observe some things:
5
61. There's a config file in /etc/ecartis. Modify it as appropriate, taking
7 special note of domain stuff.
8
92. Ecartis per-list info, configs, and defaults, are in /var/ecartis.
10
113. /usr/doc/ecartis/examples/lists has a sample config like you'd find in
12 /var/ecartis/lists.
13
144. Add the information from /usr/doc/listar/examples/aliases to your
15 /etc/aliases file and run newaliases.
16
17Also, note:
18
19For the purposes of the ecartis documentation, the home directory for ecartis
20is /usr/lib/ecartis; this is where ecartis itself is. The ecartis data
21directory, where all the list configuration files and data files reside, is
22/var/lib/ecartis. /etc/ecartis contains global (site-wide) ecartis
23configuration information.
24
25Ecartis logs to /var/log/ecartis.log with its own devices. It is now rotated
26weekly.
27
28There is a spam-regexp file in /usr/doc/ecartis/examples. See the
29README.ANTISPAM file for details. If you want to use anti-spam measures,
30use this file or something like it and stick it in the appropriate directory
31under /var/lib/ecartis.
32
33You can find ecartis scripts like newlist.pl under /usr/lib/ecartis/scripts.
34You ought to have su'd to the user "ecartis" before running them.
35
36The ecartis CGI script can be found in the package ecartis-cgi. Please
37look there if you want the CGI interface.
