I have installed mailman-2.1.4.tgz in RedHat Linux 9.0 and using postfix-1.1.12-1 .

My Problem is i am not getting mail which i sent to the list named systest.

but in /var/log/maillog , it shows status as sent .i don't know what happend to that mail.

I checked in mailman FAQ.still i couldn't solve this problem. can any one give me a good source abt configuring mailman with postfix. can any one help me to solve this.

Make sure that the Mailman qrunner processes are started (ps waux | grep qrunner), if they aren't start them by using 'mailmanctl start', under my Debian installation that's at /var/lib/mailman/bin but YMMV.

Concerning using Mailman with Postfix check the README.POSTFIX file that comes with Mailman it has detailed instructions on what you need to change in Postfix to get it to work with Mailman.

If however you're using virtual domains as I am, then you'll need something else - I'm using a python script called postfix-to-mailman, then all mailing list mail gets sent to lists.* which is fed to postfix-to-mailman.py by Postfix, and then goes on to Mailman. It's not pretty (it's a resource hog, since mail has to be fed to a python script, and Postfix can't know whether the mail it accepts for lists.whatever will bounce), but having said all that, it does work.

If you want it - it's available at: http://www.gurulabs.com/files/postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py
