Mailman for maillist, namazu for search
by Philip S Tellis 30 Nov '01

30 Nov '01

Just thought I'd point you'll to something I've done. While not completely integrated yet, I've got a preliminary system where mailman is used as the mailing list system, and namazu is used to index and search the archives. You can see it at work at http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/search/linuxers/ and http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/search/life/ If you think it's a good idea, and useful, I could tell you how I did it. Am still working on getting automatic index updates everytime the archive is updated.

postfix + mysql + mailman
by John Indra 30 Nov '01

30 Nov '01

Hi all... I am very new to Mailman. I just finished setting up a machine to be a mailhub. The MTA is postfix. This machine will be a mailhub for a number of domains. After careful planning, I decide to use MySQL to serve the postfix alias and such. I have succeeded in configuring postfix to serve all virtual hosts I have. Now I need a mailing list for each of that hosts. Can anyone direct me to a HOWTO or FAQ that I can read to achieve this? Here's my postfix setup... main.cf: relay_domains = $mydestination, $transport_maps transport_maps = mysql:/usr/local/etc/postfix/transport.cf virtual_gid_maps = mysql:/usr/local/etc/postfix/ids.cf virtual_mailbox_base = /home/mail virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/usr/local/etc/postfix/aliases.cf virtual_uid_maps = mysql:/usr/local/etc/postfix/ids.cf aliases.cf: user = postfix password = postfix dbname = mail table = aliases select_field = maildir where_field = alias hosts = localhost ids.cf: user = postfix password = postfix dbname = mail table = aliases select_field = uid where_field = alias hosts = localhost transport.cf: user = postfix password = postfix dbname = mail table = transport select_field = transport where_field = domain hosts = localhost The content of database "mail" in MySQL: table "aliases": +------+----------------+-------------------------+ | uid | alias | maildir | +------+----------------+-------------------------+ | 1100 | john(a)ysl.or.id | ysl.or.id/john/Maildir/ | | 1100 | eri(a)ysl.or.id | ysl.or.id/eri/Maildir/ | +------+----------------+-------------------------+ table "transport": +-----------+-----------+ | domain | transport | +-----------+-----------+ | ysl.or.id | virtual: | +-----------+-----------+ Everything with postfix works like a charm. Now I have installed Mailman 2.0.8, following the INSTALL file, and evrything's great. Now... the question... how do I setup a mailing list for ysl.or.id (having in mind that ysl.or.id is a virtual domain and the machine running postfix hostname's completely not related to ysl.or.id at anyway...) tq /john "I go, I fight, and I win!"

Dumping Archived Mail / Upgrading to 2.0.8
by Jeffrey M. Kenton 29 Nov '01

29 Nov '01

Hello. If I want to dump the old mail archives from a list, is there an easy way? Do I need to re-run a script to get the web interface to indicate that there is no archive anymoe? On another front, some people have asked recently about upgrading. I upgraded from 2.0.6 to 2.0.8 by downloading the source and compiling anew and installing. Zero problems. Take care.

Does anybody know where I could get some documentation on how to fix a bouncing problem. It looks like every address except my own personal domain addresses are being bounced. Any suggestions?? -- Respectfully, Joel Webb WebbGroup Network Systems LLC www.webbgroup.net 336.841.7241
