[Mailman-Users] mailman 2.1.5 and Exim 3.6

[wiren]

Dear All


I  have  mailman 2.1.5 and Exim 3.6 under a mixed Debian sistem. I had
to  specifically  install  the  "unstable"  packet  to have the latest
mailman version.

Now,  I  went  through the readme.exim file into the documentation and
made  some  changes  into  exim.conf  file  to  update the name of the
wrapper, which appears to be different from previous versions. This is
the line I updated:

JB>  MAILMAN_WRAP=MAILMAN_HOME/mail/mailman

where  formerly  instead  of mailman the end of this line used to read
"wrapper" and, in fact, I had started receiveng bouncing messages...

Now  the  lists  are working, I mean if you post mail every subscriber
gets  its  copy but it is impossibile to subscribe or to use any other
alias address of the list.

The readme.exim says that:

JB> Transport for Exim 3
JB> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JB> 
JB> Add this to the transports section of your Exim config file,
JB> i.e. somewhere between the first and second "end" line:
JB> 
JB>   mailman_transport:
JB>     driver = pipe
JB>     command = MAILMAN_WRAP \
JB>               '${if def:local_part_suffix \
JB>                     {${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \
JB>                     {post}}' \
JB>               $local_part
JB>     current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
JB>     home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
JB>     user = MAILMAN_USER
JB>     group = MAILMAN_GROUP
JB> 
JB> (XXX this is untested by me under Exim 3!  Can someone using Exim 3
JB> please let me know if it works?)

I  tried  to  do this, but it did NOT work. I got no error message, no
bounce,  but  simply  the mail was not working. The same author of the
readme says it is untested under exim3...

I  googled  the net but did not find much info: I just found many docs
which were obviously related to previous versions of mailman.

Now,  is  there anyone who has the same configuration of mailman 2.1.5
and  exim  3.6 and could pass me some help? Or would you suggest me to
update  exim too? I would rather not, for I am not a linux hacker, and
I  am  still  wondering how I could update mailman and have it working
somehow... Any hint will be appreciated.

Thank you for your attention and your help.
