I am moving a list to a new server. I have installed everything and I am going through the Exim part of the installation manual. For a RH install, do I still need to setup the mailman_router and mailman_transport or does RH assume I will be using the /etc/aliases way (which is how the setup I am moving away from works)? There are other quirky differences between the install manual and what RH did with theirs but this is the only one I have questions about.
This is a question for RedHat, but if you're using exim, the best advice I can give is set up a mailman router and transport in exim per <http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html> and set MTA = None in mm_cfg.py.
If you want Mailman to maintain aliases, you have to set MTA = 'Postfix' which will tell mailman to maintain aliases in its data/ directory (data/aliases) and invoke POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD to "install" them. You would need to figure out what command or script to reference as POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD to do this. The FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/joA9> discusses doing this for sendmail, but if you're using exim, it's better to do it the exim way.
