This is really cool! Please send me the latest version of mm-handler so I can add it to the contrib directory. I've updated README.SENDMAIL with the following text; does it accurately describe the steps one should take to integrate Mailman and Sendmail? If not, please let me know what changes should be made.
Thanks, -Barry
-------------------- snip snip -------------------- INTEGRATING SENDMAIL AND MAILMAN
David Champion has contributed a Sendmail mailer which you can use
so that Sendmail will automatically deliver to Mailman mailing
lists without manual intervention (i.e. updated an aliases file or
running newaliases). He suggests adding the following to your
sendmail.cf file:
MMailman, P=/etc/mail/mm-handler, F=rDFMhlqSu, U=mailman:other,
S=EnvFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
A=mm-handler $h $u
The mm-handler script can be found in the contrib directory; copy
this script to /etc/mail and in your Mailman/mm_cfg.py file, add
the following:
MTA = None
Now Sendmail should automagically deliver to the standard Mailman
aliases for mailing lists.
