Re: [Mailman-Users] New to Mailman, need help

I am running on RHL 7.3 but I did install the Mailman RPM from RHL 9.0...
will try installing from source, thanks,

I'm guessing from the information you gave that you're referring to an rpm install for RH9? If so, check the archives - that rpm is majorly broken. Try installing from source.

seems to be better from sources...
I still cannot figure out how do to virtual domains lists.
I configured httpd with a virtual and I have the DNS set up properly....
Looks like this is working OK
http://lists.first5ventura.org/mailman/listinfo
you can see the test list.
however, I use the web interface to create the list, and I guess that the aliases for sendmail were not create.
how do I add these aliases after the fact???
just as an FYI here are my config files for mm/dns/apache
in mm_cfg.py I have this single line:
add_virtualhost('lists.first5ventura.org', 'lists.first5ventura.org')

Oddly enough there doesn't seem to be any Sendmail integration (addition of the aliases when added via the web interface) - though it works for Postfix (after some setup).
Note, you can add the integration yourself. At one site I simply spoofed the Postfix integration and made it work with Sendmail.
As to adding the aliases after the fact, that's no problem. Look at the existing ones (you should have a "mailman" one at the very least) and simply copy that one's aliases then substitute your lists name for the copied lists name.
To see how to use Virtual hosts, look in the file ~mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py (but make your changes to mm_cfg.py) It's fairly simple and there are *lots* of examples in the archives (if not in the FAQ).
Good Luck - Jon Carnes

I found a "better" way, there is a command in mailman/bin/genaliases that will generate all aliases for all mailing lists...
now I just need to figure out how to direct mail to the "real person" i.e. the list's admin from the virtual host lists.first5ventura.org to lisa@first5ventura.org and I should be done...
there are too many examples, I got lost trying to find just one concise example that I could follow.... going very slow and figuring it out one step at a time...

That would seem to be a question for mailman-owner@python.org . You might also verify that you unsubscribed the person in the signature line:
This message was sent to: jfesler@gigo.com Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/jfesler%40gigo.com
Your copy of course will look different.
