Hello,

I am having trouble getting mail delivered to my lists.

Setup

Server name (for instance) is host.domain.com which will be hosting two virtual domains. There will be no local user accounts other than root and some other users that won't need mail (ftp user, etc). Therefore all accounts will be virtual. The problem seems to be that when I add a list, the server tries to match the lookup with a local account instead of a virtual one. All virtual mail is working and I can add virtual users via mysql blah blah and that all works. Caveat: If I setup a new account in mysql (list1) and then setup the list in mailman (list1), mail is delivered to the virtual mailbox instead of any list.

Here is what I have done to troubleshoot...

1. Try to use postmap to make sure the address is getting translated correctly

a. I perform "postconf -q listname@address.com /usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman" b. Which returns: listname c. This is where I think the problem is because it should return listname@address.com What happens when I try to send mail to this address is that postfix trys to send it to a local account which obviously does not exist.

2. Tried to mail from the console to a list I created which will bounce mail telling me the user is unknown.

a. Feb 27 09:51:14 excellence postfix/pipe[2449]: EBBDF10BC329: to=undergrad@excellence.ritphipsi.org orig_to=undergrad@ritphipsi.org, relay=maildrop, delay=1, status=bounced (user unknown. Command output: Invalid user specified. )

3. I have been playing around with hostnames and url configs in the postfix and mailman files but it doesn't seem to be working but the mail keeps on going local.
4. Specs: Gentoo 2.6 / Mailman 2.1.7 / Postfix 2.2.5 / Courier IMAP 4.0.1

Here are the relevant parts from my confs...

mm_cfg.py

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'ritphipsi.org' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mailman.ritphipsi.org'

MTA = "Postfix" POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['ritphipsi.org', 'ritdodgeball.org'] add_virtualhost('mailman.ritdodgeball.org', 'ritdodgeball.org') add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

/etc/postfix/main.cf

myhostname = excellence.ritphipsi.org mydomain = ritphipsi.org

virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf, hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman

owner_request_special = no
