I've managed to get Mailman 2.0.10 installed, and it looks like everything's okay except for one problem - which cgi handles the creation of new lists, and where does it show what aliases should be put into the /etc/aliases file? I looked for a cgi called "create", but it is missing. The list admin cgi's seem to be working fine. When I used newlist to create a list, the aliases weren't given.

Build a shell script!

Example that's works fine for me. It's in german, but i think you can read this.

,----[ neueliste ] | #!/bin/sh | | LISTENNAME=$1 | LISTENADMIN=$2 | PASSWORT=$3 | | if test "$#" -ne 3; then | | echo "Wie soll die neue Liste heissen?" | read LISTENNAME | if test -z "$LISTENNAME"; then | echo "Bitte einen Listennamen angeben!" | exit 1 | else | echo "Wie lautet die Mailadresse des Listenadmin?" | read LISTENADMIN | if test -z "$LISTENADMIN"; then | echo "Bitte die Mailadresse des Listenadmins angeben!" | exit 1 | else | echo "Bitte geben Sie ein Passwort ein!" | read PASSWORT | if test -z "$PASSWORT"; then | echo "Bitte ein Passwort eingeben!" | exit 1 | else | newlist -o /etc/aliases.mailman "$LISTENNAME" "$LISTENADMIN" "$PASSWORT" | sudo /usr/bin/newaliases | fi | fi | fi |
| else | newlist -o /etc/aliases.mailman "$LISTENNAME" "$LISTENADMIN" "$PASSWORT" | sudo /usr/bin/newaliases | fi `----

My MTA is Postfix with

,----[ postconf -n ] | alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/aliases.mailman | alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/aliases.mailman | ... `----

and

,----[ ls -l /etc/aliases.mailman ] | -rw-rw-r-- 1 root mailman 12832 Mar 27 16:42 /etc/aliases.mailman `----

and

,----[ /etc/sudoers ] | mailman mailman=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/newaliases `----
