[Mailman-Users] mailing through the relay

[Konstantin Ovchinnikov]

Hello, all.

I've installed Mailman 2.1.3 on RedHat 9 from the source, web-interface is 
working normally, but mail is not delivered.

The peculiarity of situation is that the host foo.bar.com, which runs Mailman, 
as all the other hosts in bar.com deliver mail through the smart relay. For 
security reasons we can't allow any host in our domain to deliver mail 
directly.

Sendmail on foo.bar.com was up and running. When we say from this host, for 
example:
[root at foo.bar.com] # sendmail example at exaple.com
....

Hello everybody
^D

The mail is sent normally. We check example at example.com and get our mail.

We added the following into Mailman/mm_cfg.py:
DELIVERY_MODULE = 'Sendmail'
SENDMAIL_CMD = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'

For example, we try to subscribe through the web-interface. Mailman wants to 
send us confirmation letter, but it does it DIRECTLY (not through relay), and 
I don't know, what it does with Sendmail. So, Sendmail can't deliver mail, 
Sendmail just queues it.

If Mailman did what is written in Mailman/Handlers/Sendmail.py:
cmd = mm_cfg.SENDMAIL_CMD + ' -f ' + mlist.GetBouncesEmail() + ' '

everything would work normally, but it DOES NOT!

The second question is what we have to do when we change Mailman/mm_cfg.py: 
nothing or we have to rerun config_list?
