This gets complicated. My question at this point is how is mail to listname@example.com getting to Mailman.
Hopefully you can help me figure that out... :)
I think I can.
/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases contains blocks like the following for each list:
# STANZA START: listname # CREATED: Wed Jan 11 18:32:22 2006 listname: "|/usr/lib64/mailman/mail/mailman post listname"
Again, of course, each has all of the required aliases.
Right, and those are absolutely required for all deliveries.
myhost ~ # postconf -n alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
And the above references those Mailman aliases which is good.
[...]
mydomain = example.com
And this says that example.com is the local domain and it is included by default in mydestination which means mail to the example.com domain is delivered by postfix/local and uses Mailman's aliases.
[...]
virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_vam.cf, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman
And this references Mailman's virtual maps created for the myhost.example.com domain. Normally, for delivery of mail addressed to, e.g. listname-owner@myhost.example.com via the virtual mapping which maps that address to the local address listname-owner, you also need
virtual_alias_domains = myhost.example.com
If it is working without that, there might be something in the mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_vam.cf that is enabling it, or those addresses may not be working, but if they are not, bounce processing and some owner notifications may not be working,
So, How to proceed.
My understanding is you want the list addresses to be @example.com and only the web host to be lists.example.com.
Given that understanding, what you want to end up with in mm_cfg.py is
MTA = 'Postfix' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'example.com' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.example.com' VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear() add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
with no POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS at all, and, you can remove
hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman
from Postfix virtual_alias_maps and remove the /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman* files.
