At least you have it going. To me, the nicest thing about using postfix with mailman is the integration. All the aliases will get added to your alias file automatically, which saves you the hassle of manually adding them and running newaliases.
This is precisely the thing I can't get to work using the instructions provided under fedora.
D'oh! That really takes away a large advantage of using mailman with postfix then.
I don't happen to have a fedora install at hand, but what instructions are provided there? If it's the README.POSTFIX file from the mailman tarball, then at least we'll know you're reading what the rest of us are reading. If it's something else, then I'd suggest checking out that README from the tarball to see if the fedora instructions are missing some steps.
My postfix main.cf contains:
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases, hash:/var/mailman/data/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
That looks correct.
If I cat the /var/mailman/data/aliases file, the aliases created in the web interface are being added to it. However, when I contact list.test@nekophile.com, I get a "user unknown in local recipient table" error (within pine). This is after having changed "Host name this list prefers for email" from mail.nekophile.com to nekophile.com.
What's more, if I mail to list.test@mail.nekophile.com, postfix sends me a msg titled " Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" indicating:
" Final-Recipient: rfc822; list.test@mail.nekophile.com Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; mail for mail.nekophile.com loops back to myself "
Any idea how to fix this problem?
I'm no guru at recognizing postfix problems (as it usually just works for me so I don't have much experience tracking down problems). But it sounds like it might have something to do with the virtual domain setup for mailman and/or postfix.
Just some guesses. Perhaps this will lead you to a solution or help someone else point out what's wrong.
Does postfix accept other mail at mail.nekophile.com? If so, is mail.nekophile.com or nekophile.com a virtual domain to postfix and if it is, has it been added to ~mailman/data/virtual-mailman?
