[Mailman-Users] aliases assistant

[Diana Huang]

Hi All,

I am a novince to Mailman. I followed the steps to install Mailman 2.1.5 in RH Linux 9. It works pretty well except I have to add a bunch of aliases for a list to /etc/aliases. I tried David Champion's mm-handler method to save my manual work, but I got unknown user when I try to send a email. 

I use sendmail. 

My configuration:

1. copy mm-handler to /etc/mail
2. set $MMWRAPPER=/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman
    set $MMLISTDIR=/usr/local/mailman/lists
3. make some changes in sendmail.mc
  a..     change define(`ALIAS_FILE', `/etc/aliases,/etc/lists') to define(`ALIAS_FILE', `/etc/aliases,/etc/lists')
  b..     add Mmailman,  P=/etc/mail/mm-handler, F=rDFMhlqSu, U=mailman:mailman,
          S=EnvFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
          A=mm-handler $h $u

4. make some changes in virtusertable

root at testbed.majitek.com              sun-admin at mit.majitek.com
5. make some changes in mailertable
testbed.majitek.com         mailman:testbed.majitek.com
6. make all these map by running make then restarting sendmail services
7. modify mm_cfg.py
        DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST='mit.majitek.com'
        add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST,DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
        MTA=None


Am I in the right track? really need help!!

Thanks, Diana
