Re: [Mailman-Users] Easy Install Instructions for Mailman and postfix or sendmail)
At least you have it going. To me, the nicest thing about using postfix with mailman is the integration. All the aliases will get added to your alias file automatically, which saves you the hassle of manually adding them and running newaliases.
This is precisely the thing I can't get to work using the instructions provided under fedora. If I edit the /etc/postfix/aliases file and run newaliases, everything's fine. My postfix main.cf contains:
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases, hash:/var/mailman/data/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
If I cat the /var/mailman/data/aliases file, the aliases created in the web interface are being added to it. However, when I contact list.test@nekophile.com, I get a "user unknown in local recipient table" error (within pine). This is after having changed "Host name this list prefers for email" from mail.nekophile.com to nekophile.com.
What's more, if I mail to list.test@mail.nekophile.com, postfix sends me a msg titled " Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" indicating:
" Final-Recipient: rfc822; list.test@mail.nekophile.com Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; mail for mail.nekophile.com loops back to myself "
Any idea how to fix this problem?

D'oh! That really takes away a large advantage of using mailman with postfix then.
I don't happen to have a fedora install at hand, but what instructions are provided there? If it's the README.POSTFIX file from the mailman tarball, then at least we'll know you're reading what the rest of us are reading. If it's something else, then I'd suggest checking out that README from the tarball to see if the fedora instructions are missing some steps.

alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases, hash:/var/mailman/data/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases
That looks correct.

I'm no guru at recognizing postfix problems (as it usually just works for me so I don't have much experience tracking down problems). But it sounds like it might have something to do with the virtual domain setup for mailman and/or postfix.
Just some guesses. Perhaps this will lead you to a solution or help someone else point out what's wrong.
Does postfix accept other mail at mail.nekophile.com? If so, is mail.nekophile.com or nekophile.com a virtual domain to postfix and if it is, has it been added to ~mailman/data/virtual-mailman?

Did anyone confirm that the Python rpm build in Fedora Core 1 is not working correctly and by using the SPRM that it corrects the Mailman problems or has RH screwed up Mailman again?

I have these lines, for me it works:

Hello everyone,
I am currently running into a very strange problem accessing the admin page of one of my mailman lists. I have 17 lists in total and all the other 16 can be accessed via the web interface with no problems.
I have noticed two strange things in the logs:
1> There seems to be no process associated to the GET command in the access log: ==> /var/log/httpd/access_log <== 10.0.7.10 - - [15/Dec/2003:11:39:07 -0800] "GET /mailman/admin/sales HTTP/1.0" 200 -
2> My error log is containing the following: ==> /var/log/httpd/error_log <== [Mon Dec 15 11:39:07 2003] [info] [client 10.0.7.10] read script header timed out
Again, since this is only happening to one of my lists I do not think there is anything wrong with the configuration. In fact, last week there was no problem at all. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, -Andreas
