[Mailman-Users] Incredibly Frustrated with inability to post

Wed Dec 8 11:09:06 CET 2004

Hi LIst

I am beyond frustrated now.  I have lists.  I can add members but I  
still cannot post.  I have tried every combination under the SUN and I  
still cannot post.

I think the problem stems from the following.  By the way I am using  
Postfix and Mailman 2.1.5 and Python 2.3 in OS X Server 10.2.8.  When I  
follow these instructions:

To map support for your virtual domains, you need to add a line to  
/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py for each domain. The format is:
add_virtualhost(url_host, e-mail_host)

where url_host is the fully-qualified domain name used in the URL to  
Mailman on that virtual host (e.g., for http://www.baz.com/mailman/,  
the url_host would be www.baz.com) and e-mail_host is the MX record for  
the domain.

First of all, there is no /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py

There is however /Users/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py so I'm assuming  
that's where they mean not /usr/local..... which is a completely  
different location.

However, when I add the add_virtualhost(www.beathustler.com,  
mail.beathustler.com) I am able to restart Postfix with no problem BUT  
when I cd /Users/mailman and then run bin/mailmanctl restart I get the  
following:

File "bin/mailmanctl", line 105, in ?
     from Mailman import mm_cfg
   File "/Users/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py", line 46, in ?
     add_virtualhost(www.beathustler.com, mail.beathustler.com)
NameError: name 'www' is not defined

Important to note:

I have the lines:

virtual_alias_domains = beathustler.com, jessicamartin.org,  
nathanielmiller.com, wigglemusic.com
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual,  
hash:/Users/mailman/data/aliases

in my /etc/postfix/main.cf file.

Now when I try to the Mailman web interface I get Bug in Mailman  
Version 2.1.5 followed by:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/Users/mailman/scripts/driver", line 63, in run_main
     from Mailman.Logging.StampedLogger import StampedLogger
   File "/Users/mailman/Mailman/Logging/StampedLogger.py", line 20, in ?
     from Mailman.Logging.Logger import Logger
   File "/Users/mailman/Mailman/Logging/Logger.py", line 24, in ?
     from Mailman import mm_cfg
   File "/Users/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py", line 46, in ?
     add_virtualhost(www.beathustler.com, mail.beathustler.com)

Which I assume is a result of mailman not being able to restart but I  
thought that info might help you all help me see what is wrong here.   
When I set my mailing list mail address to be www.beathustler.com in  
the web interface my mail server denies relaying.  When I use the web  
interface to make the list's address mail.beathustler.com attempts to  
post come in as regular mails.

PLEASE HELP.  I will give you any other info about my set-up that you  
require.

Thanks very much in advance.
