hi, i've just installed mailman and mm-handler on a FreeBSD machine with uname:
FreeBSD kingfish.scoastnet.com.au 5.2.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan 27 22:44:45 EST 2005 amac@kingfish.scoastnet.com.au:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/NEWKERNEL i386
i am able to create and maintain lists, but get no response (not even an error) when i send mail to a list.
i followed the process for sendmail integration described in the mm-handler howto. when i call 'make' from /etc/mail/ i get the following errors:
cp freebsd.mc kingfish.scoastnet.com.au.mc /usr/bin/m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/share/sendmail/cf/ /usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 kingfish.scoastnet.com.au.mc > kingfish.scoastnet.com.au.cf *** ERROR: FEATURE() should be before MAILER()
*** ERROR: FEATURE() should be before MAILER()
*** ERROR: FEATURE() should be before MAILER()
cp freebsd.submit.mc kingfish.scoastnet.com.au.submit.mc /usr/bin/m4 -D_CF_DIR_=/usr/share/sendmail/cf/ /usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4 kingfish.scoastnet.com.au.submit.mc > kingfish.scoastnet.com.au.submit.cf
i am able to subscribe users through the web interface, and get the confirmation emails. i can use the confirmation http link, but if i respond to the confirmation email then i do not get the 'welcome' message.
once subscribed, i do not get emails back when i send to the list. i do not get any error emails, i just receive no emails in response when i send to my mailing list. the following are some messages from /var/log/messages:
May 1 03:10:00 kingfish cron[67069]: _secure_path: cannot stat none/.login_conf: Permission denied May 1 03:15:00 kingfish cron[68044]: _secure_path: cannot stat none/.login_conf: Permission denied May 1 03:20:00 kingfish cron[69809]: _secure_path: cannot stat none/.login_conf: Permission denied May 1 03:25:00 kingfish cron[71715]: _secure_path: cannot stat none/.login_conf: Permission denied May 1 03:27:00 kingfish cron[72191]: _secure_path: cannot stat none/.login_conf: Permission denied May 1 03:30:00 kingfish cron[72599]: _secure_path: cannot stat none/.login_conf: Permission denied May 1 03:35:00 kingfish cron[74371]: _secure_path: cannot stat none/.login_conf: Permission denied
there are no error messages in /usr/local/mailman/logs/error. my virtusers table looks like this:
admin@lists.scoastnet.com.au mail@iaindooley.com
my mailertable looks like this:
lists.scoastnet.com.au mailman:lists.scoastnet.com.au
i have included the following in mm_cfg.py:
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'lists.scoastnet.com.au' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.scoastnet.com.au' add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
the url lists.scoastnet.com.au resolves to the same IP address as kingfish.scoastnet.com.au
there is this line in mm-handler:
$SENDMAIL = "/usr/lib/sendmail -oem -oi";
there is no file called /usr/lib/sendmail on my machine. there is a binary for sendmail called:
/usr/sbin/sendmail
i tried changing the $SENDMAIL line above to:
$SENDMAIL = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi";
but still no results. is there anything else i can provide to help someone diagnose my problem? i'm pretty lost...
cheers

hello, i have fixed some problems with my sendmail.cf file, and have got sendmail running correctly and it is (apparently) handing off tasks to mailman.
i can now see that i am getting 'user unknown' error messages (ie. bounces) when i send to my lists:
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <off-the-grid@lists.scoastnet.com.au> (reason: 550 5.1.1 <off-the-grid@lists.scoastnet.com.au>... User unknown)
----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to lists.scoastnet.com.au.:
DATA
<<< 550 5.1.1 <off-the-grid@lists.scoastnet.com.au>... User unknown 550 5.1.1 <off-the-grid@lists.scoastnet.com.au>... User unknown <<< 503 5.0.0 Need RCPT (recipient)
i have created lists through both the command line and web interfaces. i can log in and subscribe users to the off-the-grid list on the web, and have received subscription confirmation emails afterwards.
some similar 'user unknown' errors in the mailman-users archives suggest that this is a problem with aliases, but my impression was that when you use mm-handler with sendmail, you no longer need to worry about aliases. my mailertable looks like this:
lists.scoastnet.com.au mailman:lists.scoastnet.com.au
my mailer definition looks like this:
Mmailman, P=/etc/mail/mm-handler, F=rDFMhlqSu, U=mailman:mailnull, S=EnvFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, A=mm-handler $h $u
i have removed the ALIAS_FILE feature from my sendmail.mc file (becuase in mailman.mc example from David Champion, he comments the ALIAS_FILE feature saying that you can keep old aliases for back compatibility, but i have no reason for this so i have not kept it in there).
i would really appreciate any help you can offer.
cheers
