Mailman running on SMTP gateway
by Aaron Bento March 2, 2006

March 2, 2006

How is everyone today? I was wondering if anyone has any experience in installing and running mailman on a sendmail-based smtp gateway. I've looked in multiple places, including the FAQ and the archives. If anyone has any pointers, it would be very much appreciated. We are migrating from a linux based sendmail server to exchange. The current sendmail server will be the future smtp gateway, and I plan on forwarding all user email to the internal exchange server through the use of a mailertable entry. The sendmail server will have no users on it. This server however does have a handful of email lists for the company. I'd like to keep this in place. Does anyone know of a way to send the various aliases through to the mailman binaries, but send the remainder of the traffic to the internal mail server? I've built a test environment, and can't seem to get it right. This might be more of a sendmail issue between alias and mailertable precedence, but I figure someone from here may have run into this. Thank you in advance for any assistance or links. --Aaron

Integrating htdig
by Dragon March 2, 2006

March 2, 2006

I've spent a lot of time over the last few days trying to make htdig work with my installation of mailman 2.1.5. I installed the patches and rebuilt everything, set up the configuration, rebuilt my archives using arch and everything seemed (mostly) fine until I tried to index the archive and do a search. The indexing problem I have is an htdig issue (segmentation fault while running htfuzzy) so I won't go into that. Even with that problem during the index process, I can use htsearch from the command line and it gives me a valid search response. When I try to do a search from the form on the archive index page, it bombs badly and just gives me a useless error message (something like Search failed 12). I noticed in the documentation that the 3.2 version of htdig is not supported by the patches for using htdig with mailman. I've tried rolling it back to version 3.1.6 but am having difficulty getting it to install so it looks like for the moment I am stuck with 3.2 Is there any way to get this patch to work with the 3.2 version of htdig? Is there any plan to support this in the future?

KNOWN_USERS + SpamAssassin discarding lots of mail
by Joel Heenan March 2, 2006

March 2, 2006

I have in my mm_cfg.py : KNOWN_SPAMMERS = [('X-Spam-Status', 'Yes')] But for some reason this is discarding lots of mail. Is there some way I can turn up the debugging so I can see why these messages are being discarded? Where do these discarded messages go? Thanks -- Joel Heenan

Integrating spam detection into mailman is actually quite easy- once your MTA is configured for it. That is an MTA issue, not a mailman issue. (If you'd like an analogy, this seems akin to complaining to the gas station that your car's gas tank has to be filled from underneath, and you'd like them to fix it) > Well, let's just say that I found the list to be pretty lame. You made > the only constructive comment, thanks. And to be fair, I consider most of the other comments constructive; it is often better/easier to fix a policy problem than to fix the way that mailman works. In all fairness, your comment about your years of experience was the first rude thing. It doesn't really do to ask for help and then beat us over the head with your qualifications because you don't want to hear the particular suggestions. When you ask for help, you are throwing yourselves on our mercy, as it were- any pride you may have should be long out the window. - Patrick Bogen
