Hello,
Seems like this topic comes often in the newgroup, but since I could
not find an answer to my particular problem, I figure out I could -also-
send a request about this problem.
So I am trying to install mailman, I read and followed instructions from:
http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install.pdf
since I have a running postfix installation (gentoo box), I just modify
the few main.cf options needed, basically:
owner_request_special = no
and
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases,
hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases
I did generate the aliases using genalias (under root), and then chmod
to mailman:
$ ls -al /usr/local/mailman/data
-rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 357 Oct 3 16:22 aliases
-rw-r----- 1 mailman mailman 49152 Oct 3 16:22 aliases.db
And finally here is the /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py I am
using. It is attached to this email.
Does anyone knows what is going on ? Is there a way to make mailman more
verbose on why this mailing list is 'illegal'.
Thanks a bunch,
Mathieu
