Has anyone gotten Mailman 2.1b2 to work with qmail via contrib/qmail-to-mailman.py? There seems to be a problem. qmail-to-mailman.py includes:
if os.path.exists(local):
os.execv(MailmanHome + "/mail/mailman",
(MailmanHome + "/mail/mailman", type, local))In my configuration, this is an attempt to exec /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman, which doesn't exist. Perhaps it should be:
if os.path.exists(local):
os.execv(MailmanHome + "/scripts/mailman",
(MailmanHome + "/scripts/mailman", type, local))
^^^^^^^^^^I made this change and no longer get a FileNotFound error but still haven't gotten the system to work.

That was a silly hypothesis. /usr/local/mailman/scripts/mailman is the script that turns mailman on or off. qmail-to-mailman.py was correct. The problem was that mail/mailman never got created from mailman-2.1b2/src/mail-wrapper.c, which I'll now try to understand.

My original question still stands.

The problem was that /usr/local/src/mailman-2.1b2/src/Makefile was placing the mailman executable (created from mail-wrapper.c) into /usr/local/bin/mail/ instead of into /usr/local/mailman/mail/. The relevant lines from the Makefile are:
prefix= /usr/local/mailman
exec_prefix= /usr/local/bin
MAIL_PROGS= mailman
MAILDIR= $(exec_prefix)/mail
for f in $(MAIL_PROGS);
do
$(INSTALL_PROGRAM) $$f $(MAILDIR);
chmod g+s $(MAILDIR)/$$f;
done
Because I did not set exec_prefix in configure, it defaulted to /usr/local/bin. I'll need someone wiser than me to tell me whether this was a bug or a feature and how to permanently fix the problem. (For now, I'll just copy the file from the directory in which it is placed to the directory in which it was sought.)
Soliloquizing, Ellen
