empty gateway archive
by Thufir 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

I think, or assume, that mailman is running its cron, but nothing seems to be coming through from the NNTP gateway when there have been new posts. In general, how do I troubleshoot the gateway? the script is there in: /var/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news but are the results logged anywhere, perhaps? thanks, Thufir

data/aliases is created by mailman? or manually?
by Thufir 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

In going through an Ubuntu guide: "This build of mailman runs as list. It must have permission to read /etc/aliases and read and write /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases. Do this with these commands: sudo chown root:list /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases sudo chown root:list /etc/aliases" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mailman#Postfix_Configuration is data/aliases created by mailman? Or, do I manually create that file? How do I know that the aliases are correct? see: http://marc.info/?l=postfix-users&m=134615669604847&w=2 thanks, Thufir

29 Aug '12

Hello, I have been looking for weeks on google , but i have not found valid answer : How to integrate Mailman with postfix without the use of postfix-to-mailman.py script wich is not officialy supported ? I have a working installation : Postfix -> Amavisd ( clamd , spamassassin ) And dovecot I followed all the howto that i have found but it still doesn't work. I would like to have all my lists on a subdomain : lists.mydomain.be So , now here is my configuration : postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/mailman/aliases command_directory = /usr/sbin config_directory = /etc/postfix content_filter = amavisfeed:[127.0.0.1]:10024 daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix data_directory = /var/lib/postfix debug_peer_level = 2 html_directory = no inet_interfaces = all inet_protocols = all mail_owner = postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix manpage_directory = /usr/share/man mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, lists.mydomain.be mydomain = mydomain.be myhostname = smeagoln.mydomain.be myorigin = $mydomain newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/README_FILES recipient_delimiter = + relay_domains = $mydestination relayhost = relay.domain.be sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/samples sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix setgid_group = postdrop smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 virtual_alias_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-aliases.cf, hash:/etc/mailman/virtual-mailman virtual_gid_maps = static:493 virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail/vhosts/ virtual_mailbox_domains = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-domains.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-accounts.cf virtual_transport = dovecot virtual_uid_maps = static:493 mm_cfg.py DEFAULT_URL_HOST ='www.mydomain.be' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'smeagoln.mydomain.be' MTA = 'Postfix' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['lists.mydomain.be'] maillog : Aug 18 19:22:47 mydomain postfix/qmgr[6085]: F05353E92: from=< crupuk(a)mydomain.be>, size=914, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 18 19:22:47 mydomain dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=< crupuk(a)mydomain.be>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=6139, secured Aug 18 19:22:48 mydomain amavis[4479]: (04479-05) Passed CLEAN, MYNETS LOCAL [127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1] <crupuk(a)mydomain.be> -> <test(a)mydomain.be>, Message-ID: <1d504d6a1f2f9954ecc5ab2f4a193b9e(a)mydomain.be>, mail_id: zAsh0XT4N+qM, Hits: -0.999, size: 510, queued_as: F05353E92, 5437 ms Aug 18 19:22:48 mydomain dovecot: imap(crupuk(a)mydomain.be): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=82/572 Aug 18 19:22:48 mydomain postfix/lmtp[6123]: BE3CE3E8F: to=<test(a)mydomain.be>, orig_to=<test(a)lists.mydomain.be>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=6.8, delays=0.31/0.49/0.25/5.7, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok, id=04479-05, from MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as F05353E92) Aug 18 19:22:48 mydomain postfix/qmgr[6085]: BE3CE3E8F: removed Aug 18 19:22:48 mydomain dovecot: imap(crupuk(a)mydomain.be): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=307/8873 Aug 18 19:22:49 mydomain postfix/pipe[6138]: F05353E92: to=<test(a)mydomain.be>, relay=dovecot, delay=2.4, delays=0.2/1.3/0/0.86, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (user unknown) Mailman version : 2.1.12 ( So , I can't use VIRTUAL_MAILMAN_LOCAL_DOMAIN ) So, how can I do for deliver all mail for test(a)lists.mydomain.be by local agent and so, use alias_maps ? Thanks for your help

subscribe @localhost
by Thufir 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

I want to subscribe thufir@localhost to a mailing list -- of course that's rejected for not being a FQDN. So I subscribed thufir(a)dur.bouncme.net. Presumably I need to configure postfix recognize that as localhost? In terms of mailman, is there a log of what happened. I don't expect the subscription message to make it all the way through, but how do I trace it through mailman to see the attempts to send confirmation, and what errors were reported, etc. I suppose this is similar to setting up mailman for an intranet? An intranet of one. thanks, Thufir

How do I add_members and allocate a password? For members who do not wish to subscribe through the web interface, what is the way to subscribe them so that they have a password for subsequent login? Thanks Eric Smith

Mailman and SpamAssassin
by Lindsay Haisley 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

I'm putting in a new server and would like to integrate SpamAssassin into Mailman (2.1.15) according to the directions previously posted online at http://www.jamesh.id.au/articles/mailman-spamassassin/, which I updated at http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030589 and have been using successfully on another server. Unfortunately, the original article is no longer online. Does anyone know if there's a mirror or archive of it somewhere? -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works if you let it" FMP Computer Services | 512-259-1190 | --- The Roadie http://www.fmp.com |
