Mailman in use with Exim 3.6
by Thomas Bartolucci Aug. 3, 2004

Aug. 3, 2004

Is there anyone out there that has set mailman (any version ) up with exim 3.6. I can't seem to get it working. I can add users through the web interface and they get invite emails, but no one can post to the list, at least none of the mail is getting forwarded. And the sender isn't getting it back. So I ask what settings do you use. I have the following lines added to exim.conf: ########MAIN CONFIGURATION############ MAILMAN_HOME = /home/mailman MAILMAN_WRAP = MAILMAN_HOME/mail/wrapper MAILMAN_UID = mailman MAILMAN_GID = mailman #######TRANSPORT######################3 list_transport: driver = pipe command = MAILMAN_WRAP post ${lc:$local_part} current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME user = MAILMAN_UID group = MAILMAN_GID list_request_transport: driver = pipe command = MAILMAN_WRAP post ${lc:$local_part} current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME user = MAILMAN_UID group = MAILMAN_GID list_admin_transport: driver = pipe command = MAILMAN_WRAP post ${lc:$local_part} current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME user = MAILMAN_UID group = MAILMAN_GID ###########Director####################3 list_owner_director: driver = smartuser require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.db suffix = "-owner" new_address = "${lc:local_part}-admin@${domain}" owner_list_director: driver = smartuser require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.db prefix = "owner-" new_address = "${lc:$local_part}-admin@${domain}" list_admin_director: driver = smartuser suffix = -admin require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.db transport = list_admin_transport list_request_director: driver = smartuser suffix = -request require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.db transport = list_request_transport list_director: driver = smartuser require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.db transport = list_transport

mailman, postfix, amavisd-new
by probsd org Aug. 3, 2004

Aug. 3, 2004

I realize this is somewhat off topic, but the amavisd-new and postfix-users group are giving conflicting info, and my hopes is that someone here has the same setup and a solution. I run postfix, mailman, and amavisd-new, using clamAV and spamassassin. I noticed that when emails are sent to a mailing list, content filtering from amavisd-new happends BEFORE and AFTER injection causing duplicate ( sometimes way more ) emails to the list. Thus, anyone on here using mailman, postfix, amavids-new have any ideas on what to place in main.cf, master.cf, or both to make content filtering/virtual address mapping happen only once? michael __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Converting Majordomo archive files to Mailman archives?
by John R. Ackermann N8UR Aug. 3, 2004

Aug. 3, 2004

Hi -- I just moved a small, but very long lived, mailing list system from Majordomo to Mailman. The basic conversion went just fine, thanks. I have archives of the old lists going back almost ten years, and I'd like to import those into the Mailman archiver. They're stored in what I think is standard mbox format (each message begins with a "From " line) with each month's messages stored in a single file named something like "list.0303" for the March, 2003 archives. Is there a way to bring these into the Mailman archive system? Thanks, John PS -- previously, these archives were processed by wilma/mhonarc/glimpse to make a set of full-text searchable web archives, but for the new system I'm thinking of just adding htdig or similar to the existing Mailman archives rather than trying to maintain a separate system.

New install issue: Line 107 / exception.OSError
by Jeff Garvas Aug. 3, 2004

Aug. 3, 2004

I apologize if this is already documented somewhere. While I can find lots of information about this error with other applications (and a different line number) I can't seem to find any information about this with respect to mailman. If I've missed a FAQ I'm just blind :) I have mailman+qmail setup so all inbound email is forward to the qmail helper python script via the user mailman. List specific destinations are stripped off the hypen (mailman-listname(a)lists.foo.com). I've done this before without problems. I'm upgrading to a new machine and now everytime I mail "into" a list I get these strange errors in the log: ../qmail-send/@40000000410f9f6a2bcf436c.s:@40000000410f9ca62b9a21dc delivery 4558: deferral: exceptions.OSError_[Errno_2]_No_such_file_or_directory/Line_107/ ../qmail-send/@40000000410f9f6a2bcf436c.s:@40000000410f9d0a26dd360c delivery 4589: deferral: exceptions.OSError_[Errno_2]_No_such_file_or_directory/Line_107/ ../qmail-send/@40000000410f9f6a2bcf436c.s:@40000000410f9e37338a4c3c delivery 4627: failure: exceptions.OSError_[Errno_2]_No_such_file_or_directory/Line_107/I'm_not_going_to_try_again;_this_message_has_been_in_the_queue_too_long./ (note my queuelifetime is very very low right now). Can someone point me in the direction of what might be causing this ? I do not see anything in mailman/logs/error or smtp so I imagine this is never getting into mailman. Any assitance would be greatly appreciated. I'm running into a brick wall trying to figure this out myself. (Inbound mail comes into qmail and gets handed off to the user mailman, which is redirecting the mail to the qmail script in the contrib directory. The values in that script at the top are defined...) -Jeff

Postfix virtualdomains + maildrop + mailman?
by Hans-Christian Prytz Aug. 3, 2004

Aug. 3, 2004

Hi, I'm trying to add some mailinglists to a machine I run, but I'm having some trouble getting things to work. Not really sure if this is the right list, but I'll try anyway. The setup: One machine (machinename.dom.ain) is hosting mail fro dom.ain as a virtual domain (users etc. in a sql database), and I'm using maildrop to filter mail into the correct mailboxes (eg virtual_transport=maildrop as per one of the howtos on postfix.org). Now I would like to add lists.dom.ain to hold some mailinglists. I've tried to use the built-in virtual domain support, and this works if I use the default postfix virtual deilvery agent (but then no filtering of mail into mailboxes) but not with maildrop. /usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman resolves testlist(a)lists.prytz.net to testlist (ie. testlist(a)dom.ain) which is then looked up in /usr/mailman/data/aliases which has testlist resolved to "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post testlist" which seems normal. However what is passed to maildrop as the destination is: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post testlist(a)dom.ain Any suggestions on how to implement a virtual domain containing mailman lists while still using maildrop? Thanks Hans-Christian Some configuration stuff (seems to be the relevant parts): from main.cf local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps $virtual_mailbox_maps alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-aliases.cf, hash:/etc/mail/aliases # Virtual mailbox stuff virtual_transport = maildrop maildrop_destination_recipient_limit = 1 #virtual_transport = virtual #virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-domains.cf virtual_mailbox_domains = prytz.net #virtual_mailbox_domains = prytz.net lists.prytz.net virtual_minimum_uid = 1100 virtual_gid_maps = static:1101 virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-maps.cf #virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual.cf virtual_alias_maps = hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman,mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual.cf virtual_uid_maps = static:1101 virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail/vmail #virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail #virtual_mailbox_limit = # Mailman stuff goes here owner_request_special = no transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport # For filtrering av sender ip etc smtpd_client_restrictions = hash:/etc/postfix/client_access # Filtrer paa output fra den over header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/header_checks_spam
