[Mailman-Users] Relaying error

[Yan Herndon]

After some more testing I realize that I was getting the subscription
and mod pending emails because the list owner email address is local to
the server.  IE no relaying.  

If I put a local email addy on the subscriber list I get the post. 

If I use a remote email addy as the list owner / moderator I do not
receive the subscription/mod emails.

So it seems to be a case of all remote mail not being delivered.  Which
would make me think it's the qmail problem.

I have attempted to add SMTPHOST = 'FQDN' in mm_cfg.py.  
I have not tried the IP of the server itself yet. 

I added tcp-env: 127.0.0.1 : setenv RELAYCLIENT
To /etc/hosts.allow

Neither of these helped.

I think maybe it's time for some qmail help but thought somebody might
have ideas here first.

Thanks,

Sorry.  I thought these 2 threads would get put together but my Outlook
must have mangled something.  Or possibly I'm stupid.  Here is the
relevant info:

Neither is Qmail, but ...

Mailman delivers to the SMTP server and port defined by SMTPHOST and
SMTPPORT which default to 'localhost' and 0 (which really means 25)
respectively. You can assign these any values you wish in mm_cfg.py
(or remove or change an existing assignment) if that will solve the
problem.

However, it really seems that Qmail is not configured properly if it
won't relay mail originating at 'localhost'.

I am receiving messages when I setup the list.  I also receive messages
that there is a message awaiting moderation.  When I send a post to the
list and then accept it it shows up in the archive.

 

Just no actual posts go out.

If Qmail is not configured properly (wont relay from localhost)would I
receive any messages?  I'd like to know that before I go down the Qmail
road.

 

In mm_cfg/py I did not see settings for SMTPPORT/HOST.  They were in
Defaults.py.  Should I add them to mm_cfg.py and remove from defaults?
Change it in Defaults?  Add to mm_cfg and leave the old info in
defaults?

 

Thanks for the help.
