postfix and mailman issues

Greetings, I have been trying to integrate Mailman 2.1.6 with Postfix 2.2.4 with no luck. I have followed the instructions on the Mailman website for Postfix, and I have installed Postfix-style Virtual Domains. The lists domain name used is different then the mail servers actual domain. When I send mail to <username>@virtual-domain.com, it gets sent to the right mail address (which is NOT located locally). If, however, a mail is sent for an alias under mailman <list>@virtual-domain.com, I get the following: Jun 30 02:11:05 mail postfix/smtp[27605]: E7118340227: to=<|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post gamer(a)domain.com>, o rig_to=<gamer(a)virtual-domain.com>, relay=mail.domain.com[ipaddress removed], delay=1, status=bounced (host mail.domain.com[ipaddress removed] said: 550 5.7.1 <"|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post gamer"@domain.com>...

Mailman Virtual Domains - Multiple Installs
by Michael Reck [Netdiscounter GmbH] 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

Hi List, is there be any how-to for a multiple installs mm server. I need listnames which are same for multiple domains. I decided to give every costumer a lists.domain.tld entry with MX Record. The first Installation runs like hell but the following with another Hostname fails. The Incoming Mails gets always delivered to root@fqhostname. The Servername is equivalent to the first list hostname ( lists.netdiscounter.de). I think this is the reason why the first list works. I use Postfix as the MTA. The mm installation is done with different prefixes, different usernames, different listurls and with different mailhost. Any ideas or links ? Greets Michael

Could I synchronise while it's sending?
by Michel Remacle 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Hello, (I'm new to this and I speak french so...) I would like to know if it's possible to: 1- add 70.000 people to a list (ok) 2- send a message to all of them (ok, takes about 8 hours on my server) 3- synchronise before the 8 hours have passed ?? E.G.: Knowing that it takes +/- 8 hours to send the 70.000 messages, can I synchronise my list before the end of the 8 hours? Thanks for reading, Michel

Création première liste
by M＠tthias 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Salut ;) Mon hébérgeur sur mon serveur à déjà préconfiguré Mailman. Seulement quand j'arrive à l'url : http://mon_serveur/mailman/admin/, je n'ai qu'une possibilité, celle de "create a new mailing list", ce qui me va tout à fait! Seulement à la création, j'ai le message "Error: You are not authorized to create new mailing lists". Ca me parait logique puisque cette une url en libre accès... mais que dois-je faire pour pouvoir créer ma première liste?! Merci à tous!

removing attachments, keeping html
by Gerry Starnes 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

I am interested in disallowing attachments (documents, images), but want to enable use of html formatting such as bold and color. The FAQ addresses html attachments only that I have seen. I have tried a variety of settings, but haven't hit the right combination. I'd appreciate any help. Gerry

Stripping attachments but have them available for download?
by Michael Masse 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Is there any sort of filter that can have mailman strip attachments, make them available for http download, and put a little blurb in the email stating the URL? I'm trying to prevent the same document from being stored in 5000 mailboxes as well as being virus and spam checked 5000 times everytime an announcement is made. The senders refuse to learn how to do this manually. Mike

How to specify alternate port in ./configure --mailhost= ?
by Forrest Aldrich 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

We're running a special MTA on a different port, and I would like to point the mailman instance to that. Is it possible to specify this in the ./configure options or does it need to be input into mm_cfg.py somewhere? Thanks.

Don't forget to >check out the Mailman FAQ at: Howdy, all! I have a mysterious mailman migration muddle. Platform: NetBSD 2.0.2, with Mailman 2.1.6. Lists: Several lists imported from an old Linux box. Symptoms: Lists are Not Seen. Messages sent to mailman aliases (e.g., list-subscribe@) are delivered, according to sendmail. Nothing Happens. No log messages anywhere I can find. No errors. No bounce. Admin.cgi doesn't see the lists. I verify that, yes, I have a list named "mailman". "newlist mailman" says it already exists. In desperation, I delete that list and rerun newlist mailman. Now that one list shows up. No others do. Here's the neat part. I run dbdump on the config.pck files from the old and new copies of that directory. *** /tmp/t Wed Jun 22 22:11:01 2005 --- /tmp/u Wed Jun 22 22:11:19 2005 *************** *** 2,15 **** <----- start object 1 -----> { 'accept_these_nonmembers': [], 'acceptable_aliases': '\n', !

I do not want to delete the lists and start over, because they have people on them. I regret to admit that I have at most twenty milliclues about Python in general, and mailman in particular. (That said, I am already starting to think that, if I can figure out how mailman works, I may want to start migrating things to it from majordomo, because it's prettier.) -s

I can't find "local_server_two" at mailman directories in /etc, /usr and /var please help. Mit freundlichen Grüßen / With kind regards Ronny Seffner

Subscribe not functioning
by rdembski＠sbcglobal.net 29 Jun '05

29 Jun '05

External subscribing is not working thru either the web interface or the list-subscribe(a)hostname.org method. There is no confirmation message being sent... I can subscribe locally thru email, can manually add addresses thru the admin interface, and can even send/receive list mail from any already-subscribed address with no problem. I've looked thru the FAQ, the FAQ wizard, searched this lists' archives the best I can, and still cannot find anything similar enough to suggest a problem/fix. I'm using Mailman 2.1.6rc4, Exim 3 on Debian GNU/Linux 3. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
