mailman problem with exim
by Lorenzo Coronati 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

hi all I'm trying to make mailman work with exim (on a centos server) but I'm facing a problem: when a subscriber posts a message, it isn't forwarded to the other subscribers, and no error message is sent back to the sender this is what I find in the /var/log/exim/main.log: 2011-07-28 09:01:50 1QmKbO-0004h7-NS <= lorenzo(a)coronati.com H=adsl-ull-193-191.49-151.net24.it ([192.168.0.207]) [151.49.191.193] P=esmtpa A=plain_login:lorenzo@coronati.com S=644 id=4E310960.6050509(a)coronati.com T="provo io" 2011-07-28 09:01:50 1QmKbO-0004h7-NS Failed to find group "" from expanded string "${lookup mysql{select users.gid from users,domains where localpart = '${quote_mysql:$local_part}' and domain = '${quote_mysql:$domain}' and users.domain_id = domains.domain_id}}" for the address_pipe transport 2011-07-28 09:01:50 1QmKbO-0004h7-NS == |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post mailinglistaips <mailinglistaips(a)aips.it> R=system_aliases T=address_pipe defer (-28): Failed to find group "" from expanded string "${lookup mysql{select users.gid from users,domains where localpart = '${quote_mysql:$local_part}' and domain = '${quote_mysql:$domain}' and users.domain_id = domains.domain_id}}" for the address_pipe transport what I understand is that exim (which is configured to manage the email addresses stored in a mysql database) tries to expand the mailing list looking for subscribers via sql, instead of letting mailman to do this am I right? and then, what do I have to do to fix this? thanks in advance lorenzo
