<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi there,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OS: RedHat 7.1</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I setup all domains as virtual and all the users
are popuser.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Server domain name is resolved to "maindomain.com"
with ip address of 139.aaa.bbb.ccc</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>there are two other virtual domains under this
domain called:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>virtual-domain-1.com with ip address of
203.aaa.bbb.ccc</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face=Arial size=2>virtual-domain-2.com with
ip address of 203.eee.fff.ggg</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>alias file for the main domain is in
/etc/aliases</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>alias file for the virtual domains are
in:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>/etc/vmail/virtual-domain-1.com/aliases.virtual-domain-1.com</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face=Arial
size=2>/etc/vmail/virtual-domain-2.com/aliases.virtual-domain-2.com</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Remember there are no real users here only root and
now mailman.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>****action****</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I installed mailman 2.0.1-2.rpm</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>By default mailman is installed in
/var/mailman</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>mailman user is created: <FONT face=Arial
size=2>mailman uid and gid both are 41</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and alias file in /etc/aliases is updated as
follwed:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>mailman: postmaster</DIV>
<DIV>mailman-owner: mailman</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ok, here I start to create a list:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I edit mm_cfg to add my default domain name and
URL, I type this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>changed DEFAULT_HOST_NAME= '
virtual-domain-1.com'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>changed DEFAULT_URL= ' <A
href="http://www.virtual-domain-1.com/mailman/'">http://www.virtual-domain-1.com/mailman/'</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I left the rest as is and done the web setting for
httpd.conf</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I want to use one of the virtual-domains, not the
main server domain.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>next step I create a list:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>/var/mailman/bin/newlist</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>call the list "test"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>then the name for the admin: <A
href="mailto:me@virtual-domain-1.com">me@virtual-domain-1.com</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>asked me for a pass word "test"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the final message is:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>test:
"|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper post
test"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>test-admin: "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner
test" </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>test-request:
"|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>test-owner: test-admin</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>-------------------------------</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>By reading the installation file I assume I have to
add these 4 lines in /etc/aliases file</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I did and run newaliases to update the alias
file.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>***now test***</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I add a user to the list call it "<A
href="mailto:test-user@test_domain.com">test-user@test_domain.com</A>; no
problem</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The usere recived a notification and was
accepted,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>*** problem here***</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If that test-user send a posting to <A
href="mailto:test@virtual-domain-1.com">test@virtual-domain-1.com</A> the
message get posted no error or bounce.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>mail log say the mail was send:ok</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But the user doesn't get the posted
message.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>no matter how many valid users I add to the list
the don't get postings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>** alternatives **</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I add the previous 4 lines to the
virtual-doman-1.com alias file to see where the problem is.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Still no error and mail get send to the list, but
still no posting coming back to the users.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I check for problems in
/var/mailman/logs</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>no errors, and smtp and post say the message was
accepted.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Where these posting are getting stored? I don't see
them anywhere!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any clues?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>-------------</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>
