[Mailman-Users] virtual-mailman not generated

Wed Oct 6 04:26:53 CEST 2010

Hi,

No doubt I'm overlooking something which is obvious to experienced users, but for a newcomer to both mail server setup and mailman setup, is opaque.

When I run genaliases, I get aliases, but not virtual-mailman.

The host that I'm generating this on is eunuch.pbw.id.au (to the outside world.)

The virtual host I want to use with postfix-to-mailman.py is lists.eunuch.pbw.id.au.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Here's my postfix config.

-----------------------------------
# See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version

# Debian specific:  Specifying a file name will cause the first
# line of that file to be used as the name.  The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.
myorigin = /etc/mailname

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
biff = no

# appending .domain is the MUA's job.
append_dot_mydomain = no

smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache

# See /usr/share/doc/postfix/TLS_README.gz in the postfix-doc package for
# information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.

myhostname = eunuch.pbw.id.au
mydomain = pbw.id.au

Here's my mm_cfg.py

"""This is the module which takes your site-specific settings.

From a raw distribution it should be copied to mm_cfg.py.  If you
already have an mm_cfg.py, be careful to add in only the new settings
you want.  The complete set of distributed defaults, with annotation,
are in ./Defaults.  In mm_cfg, override only those you want to
change, after the

  from Defaults import *

line (see below).

Note that these are just default settings - many can be overridden via the
admin and user interfaces on a per-list or per-user basis.

Note also that some of the settings are resolved against the active list
setting by using the value as a format string against the
list-instance-object's dictionary - see the distributed value of
DEFAULT_MSG_FOOTER for an example."""
