New User trying to get Mailman, Apache2, Postfix working on Ubuntu LTS Server 8.04 for Internet
OK. Someone and I have been attempting to get Mailman working under the ubuntu platform. I've recently installed the Apache2 Web Server, Postfix, and Maliman onto my machine. Presently, I'm using Ubuntu LTS Server 8.04, mostly due to the fact that I'm not sure that all this will work on a desktop configuration.
I pretty much follow everything on the Ubuntu Server Guide in getting Apache2, Postfix, and Mailman working. Of course I configure Postfix to work with mailman, (tweaking the mm_cfg.py of course). The computer name I set on the installation was computerbroadcastnetwork, though I went inside the hosts and changed the "computerbroadcastnetwork" to "computerbroadcastnetwork.com" and set the local address to 127.0.0.1 instead of 127.0.1.1, hoping that would alleviate any problems. I can get the UI interface working somewhat on my own system, but not on external systems. When I try to create a new list, and type in my E-mail address to be notified, it will NOT send.
OK here's the information: The host name should be "computerbroadcastnetwork.com"
I don't think all the installation guides or anything are going to cut the mustard for me here. I need the best way to get Mailman working on my system, and to work correctly on the web.
FYI, my network is a local LAN which uses DHCP. Do I need a DHCP3 server?
I hope one of you can assist me in getting this working on my machine. It's been a real pain.

You need appropriate DNS and router configuration so that traffic for computerbroadcastnetwork.com from outside your lan is properly routed to your host.

And how exactly do I do that? I've been trying different ways to get Mailman to work properly, and frankly I'm at a big loss, and I mean a big loss.

Those are questions that are not relevant to this mailing list. Try asking on a mailing list for one of your local Linux user groups, or on one of the various mailing lists or newsgroups relating to Linux.

However, the site owner now wants a new list created. The problem is, the link to do this; http://claverton-energy.com/mailman/create - generates a 404 Page Not Found Error... None of the documentation / trouble-shooting anticipates that particular circumstance - and we have absolutely no idea what to do to resolve it! :-)
You need to create the mailing list via cpanel itself, not the link in Mailman.

If "do that" refers to "configure the network routing and DNS services", you're asking in the wrong place. Try the Ubuntu forums, where you'll find people who are familiar with the configuration tools you'll need to use. You might also get help from your ISP, who will likely be the people doing any configuration of routing and DNS to and from the Internet.
From hosts on the Internet? Can your host send mail to other hosts on
Can you access Apache at all from the LAN? How about the Internet? Can you send ordinary mail to the host from other hosts on the LAN? the LAN? How about out to the Internet? If your answer to any of the questions above is "no", you need to fix that problem before coming back here.
You know, I can't access the Apache Web Server from the Internet. Though I seem to be able to via the home LAN using the IP.
