problem with mailman handling incomming mail
Hi!
I have mailman installed on my freebsd server. I am running postfix+dovecot with mysql support for my mail server. Everything is working perfectly except mailman gives error on incomming mail. Here is the error (I replaced my real domain name in the error message with mydomain.org):
*This is the mail system at host mail.mydomain.org.
I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.
If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message.
The mail system<"|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"@mail.mydomain.org> (expanded from <mailman@mail.mydomain.org>): unknown user: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"*
Can someone help me please!!

This is wrong. You need to add hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases to alias_maps, not to virtual_alias_maps. Probably something like
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases
Then you need
virtual_alias_maps = mysql:$config_directory/mysql_virtual_alias_maps.cf,hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman
and if it isn't already there, you need
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['mail.mydomain.org']
in mm_cfg.py, and if that wasn't already there, you need to run Mailman's bin/genaliases to create the virtual-mailman* files.

Hi Mark,
Thanks a lot, it's working perfectly!!!
Now, if I want to add a mailing list with another domain name i own (it's hosted on the same machine), what should i do? I tryed to add a new mailing list specifying the domain name with
/usr/local/mailman/bin/newlist name-of-the-list@myotherdomain.org
I can access the administration page over the web interface but when i send an email to that address, i get an error (here is the postfix log):
postfix/smtpd[94206]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from myhome.org[MY.IP]: 550 5.1.1 <name-of-the-list @myotherdomain.org>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table; from=<my@email.com> to=<name-of-the-list??@myotherdomain.org> proto=ESMTP helo=<[MY.IP]>
Thanks a lot in advance for helping me!

This assumes the web domain is the same myotherdomain.org as the email domain. If not, the only difference is add_virtualhost is

After adding 'myotherdomain.org' to POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS, run bin/genaliases to update data/virtual-mailman*
Also not that the notation
/usr/local/mailman/bin/newlist name-of-the-list@myotherdomain.org

Hi Mark!
I tryed what you said and it's not working.. I have this error:
postfix/smtpd[99110]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from myhome.org[MY.HOME.IP]: 550 5.1.1 <test-list@myotherdomain.org>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table; from=<my@email.com> to=<test-list@myotherdomain.org> proto=ESMTP helo=<[MY.HOME.IP]>
Mailman was originally configured with mydomain.org which still works well. The web domain i use to manage mailman is webmail.mydomain.org. The other domain i'm trying to add is myotherdomain.org and following your advices it didn't worked.
So, I did that in mm_cfg.py:
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['mail.mydomain.org', 'myotherdomain.org'] add_virtualhost('myotherdomain.org')
Then, I ran genaliases and also restarted mailman. I added the list test-list for myotherdomain.org with: /usr/local/mailman/bin/newlist --urlhost=webmail.mydomain.org --emailhost=myotherdomain.org test-list
and it doesn't work :|
What did I do wrong?
Maxime Longuepee wrote:
If you want all lists to use the same web host (webmail.mydomain.org) and only different email domains, you do not want an add_virtualhost() for the other domains.
You want
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'webmail.mydomain.org' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mail.mydomain.org' add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) MTA = 'Postfix' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['mail.mydomain.org', 'myotherdomain.org']
However, the
add_virtualhost('myotherdomain.org')
doesn't really do any harm. So I don't understand what the problem is. The newlist command you gave should have created the list with a host_name attribute (visible on the list's General Options page) of myotherdomain.org, and if that domain was in POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS when the list was created, the required virtual maps should have been added to data/virtual-mailman.
So, what is the host_name for test-list?
Does it match exactly a domain in POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS in mm_cfg.py?
Is there only one POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS assignment in mm_cfg.py?
What's in data/virtual-mailman?
is the time stamp of data/virtual-mailman.db the same or more recent than that of data/virtual-mailman?
