[Mailman-Users] Configuration (virtual domains) doesn't work

[Jos Elkink]

Hi,

I'm a bit at a loss what is going wrong, especially because there is
nothing reported in any log files. When I send an email, the
mail/wrapper exits with 1, without any other info on what goes wrong,
and when I go to the webpages of my mailman, it tells me there's a bug
and I should look into the log files, which do not say anything.

Below is my mm_cfg.py file - is there anything wrong with it?

Note that the binaries with mailman work fine - e.g. I can create a list
or add members, using 'addlist' or 'addmembers', after setting the
DOMAIN environment variable.

The documentation of Exim 4, which is what I use, says that Exim does
set the DOMAIN variable. And a PHP script to read HTTP_HOST also works
fine. So those environment variables also should not be the problem. But
what then is? :)

What could be wrong?
And is there a way to have mailman report much more in the logs? Some
debug setting?

Any help would be very much appreciated!

#    Here's where we get the distributed defaults.    #

A sample DomainDefaults.py would be:

#########################################
# Domain specific defaults for Mailman. #

DEFAULT_HOST_NAME   = 'cantr.net'
DEFAULT_URL         = 'http://cantr.net/mailman/'
