Mailman 2.1 setup problem
Folks,
I'm at whits end. I have spent all (probably because I'm an idiot) installing Mailman 2.1 on a RedHat 8.0 server. I'm running Postfix 1.11 and have done all the config's via the Howto, Howdon'ts, pain and suffering guide etc.
I created a list called test, and send e-mail to it. I get nothing not a smrsh failure nada, zip. I see the message in qfiles, and even in archives. But it NEVER send the e-mail to the alias users (me). The only thing I haven't done is config a link to the mailman wrapper. Why? It never says you have to for postfix. Also, /etc/smrsh dosent exist, /usr/sbin/smrsh does. I have installed everything using grp mailman and user mailman. I attahced the Defaults.py and the mm_cfg.py. I did add SMTPHOST and SMTPPORT.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Has mailmanctl been started? You can use ps to see if it's running:
# ps U mailman PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 1882 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/python2 /var/mailman/bin/mailmanctl -s -q start 1883 ? S 0:53 qrunner /var/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=ArchRunner:0:1 -s 1884 ? S 0:00 qrunner /var/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=BounceRunner:0:1 -s 1885 ? S 0:49 qrunner /var/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=CommandRunner:0:1 -s 1887 ? S 0:52 qrunner /var/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=IncomingRunner:0:1 -s 1888 ? S 0:52 qrunner /var/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=NewsRunner:0:1 -s 1889 ? S 0:55 qrunner /var/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=OutgoingRunner:0:1 -s 1890 ? S 0:53 qrunner /var/mailman/bin/qrunner --runner=VirginRunner:0:1 -s
The only thing I haven't done is config a link to the mailman wrapper. Why? It never says you have to for postfix.
Right, you won't need that at all for postfix.

Did you finish going through the INSTALL document to copy the mailman script to /etc/init.d and then run it. That starts the mailmanctl application that passes email back to Postfix. You do not need the wrapper as that is a sendmail app under the older Mailman.
Make sure mailmanctl is running just run "ps -e" You will probably see the mailmanctl and you will definitely see the python daemons.

Yes, I did.
The problem was SMTPHost and port was not in mm_cfg.py. Once I added that everything started working. Dah!
I also had to revert back to Sendmail rather than postfix. I'm running 1.11 Postfix on a RH8.0 machine. When mailman is running, Postfix processes e-mail and it just begins to slow down. I stop postfix and mailman and fire it back up. It starts to work and does the same thing all over. No errors in /var/log no errors in the mailman logs either. The test list has one member and general e-mail is light. There are no indications that the processes hung, died or puked. It simply just stops handling e-mail. Sendmail seems to work well.

Don't forget to set the MTA = postfix in your mm_cfg.py if you go back to postfix. I am running RH 8 with MM 2.1.1 and Postfix 1.11-15. It is all working great on my main domain. I still have a "glitch" using virtual domains, which by the good graces of this list should be straightened out shortly.
Yes, I did.
