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

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 28 Aug '12

28 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 |

Error: You are not authorized to create new mailing lists
by Thufir 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

While I can browse to http://localhost/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/comp.lang.java.help and see that there's such a list, I cannot create list from http://localhost/cgi-bin/mailman/admin which returns Error: You are not authorized to create new mailing lists whenever I try to create a list. However, it does work from the CLI: root@dur:~# root@dur:~# newlist comp.lang.java.help Enter the email of the person running the list: hawat.thufir(a)gmail.com Initial comp.lang.java.help password: To finish creating your mailing list, you must edit your /etc/aliases (or equivalent) file by adding the following lines, and possibly running the `newaliases' program: ## comp.lang.java.help mailing list comp.lang.java.help: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-admin: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-bounces: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-confirm: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-join: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-leave: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-owner: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-request: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-subscribe: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe comp.lang.java.help" comp.lang.java.help-unsubscribe: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe comp.lang.java.help" Hit enter to notify comp.lang.java.help owner... root@dur:~# why won't the web interface accept the same password? Or, is it that the web interface itself, perhaps, isn't authorized. What's not authorized, the password I provided (which works from the CLI) or something about how the web interface is setup? thanks, Thufir

nntp -> dovecot POP3
by Thufir 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

I've seen mention that mailman can be used between nntp and e-mail. What I'm looking for is to send nntp messages to e-mail, just one way. I don't need a full gateway such as gmane, just one way is sufficient. Currently I'm using dovecot-postfix in Ubuntu with leafnode (http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/ )as the nntp server. What would be involved in directing mailman at leafnode, on localhost, to e-mail a particular newsgroup? thanks, Thufir

RTFM gate_news
by Thufir 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

Where is the documentation for mailman gate_news and how is it configured? I'm running Leafnode on localhost and am using a dovecot-postfix mail stack on Ubuntu. How can I wire them together with mailman to export usenet messages? The best info I've found about gate_news is: http://opensource.apple.com/source/mailman/mailman-117/mailman/cron/gate_ne… I'm sure it's on GNU as well, and the usage seems not terribly difficult, at least judging the comments in the above code. Am I just not seeing the manual/tutorial? thanks, Thufir
