[Mailman-Users] Installing http://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/mailman, stuck at "Temporary failure"

[Caesar Samsi]

Agg … now mails to non list emails get rejected:

I got it to work!

I tweaked this section, the clincher was populating mydestination.

I’m going to do a happy dance.

# ---------------------------------
# General host and delivery info
# ----------------------------------

myhostname = mail.yugi.us<http://mail.yugi.us/>
mydomain=yugi.us<http://yugi.us/>
myorigin = /etc/hostname

# Some people see issues when setting mydestination explicitly to the server
# subdomain, while leaving it empty generally doesn't hurt. So it is left empty$
# mydestination = mail.example.com<http://mail.example.com/>, localhost

mydestination = yugi.us<http://yugi.us/>, mail.yugi.us<http://mail.yugi.us/>, localhost

I’ve chosen to use yugi.us<http://yugi.us/> as the email host and www.yugi.us<http://www.yugi.us/> as the url host.

1. I’ve added virtual_alias_domains = yugi.us<http://yugi.us/>

However that causes non mailman email addresses from receiving emails:
<admin at yugi.us<mailto:admin at yugi.us>>: User unknown in virtual alias table
Reporting-MTA: dns; mail.yugi.us<http://mail.yugi.us/>

Arrival-Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2016 12:56:00 -0800 (PST)

So I’ve had to remove that setting.

2. I’ve (along with step 1 above):
- rmlist all aliases (including mailman)
- rm /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-man*
- newlist mailman (and provided the email url hosts owner and password)
- /usr/lib/mailman/bin/genaliases (and see the proper entries in /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman

Now when I send to mailman at yugi.us<mailto:mailman at yugi.us> I get:
<mailman at localhost>: mail for localhost loops back to myself
Reporting-MTA: dns; mail.yugi.us<http://mail.yugi.us/>

On my other working mailman server I didn’t have to specify virtual_alias_domains = yugi.us<http://yugi.us/>

If I send to mailman at mail.yugi.us<mailto:mailman at mail.yugi.us> I get relay access denied:
Final-Recipient: rfc822; mailman at mail.yugi.us<mailto:mailman at mail.yugi.us>

Remote-MTA: dns; yugi.us<http://yugi.us/>
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 554 5.7.1 <mailman at mail.yugi.us<mailto:mailman at mail.yugi.us>>: Relay access denied

I’m stumped … still looking through google.

I’ve reread https://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/postfix-virtual.html too many times and followed the steps that many times too :-)

Attached is postconf -n output, master.cf, and transport.
<postfix.txt>

As Jim P. said, you may need

virtual_alias_domains = yugi.us<http://yugi.us/>

in Postfix main.cf, although this may conflict with your
virtual_mailbox_domains.

You need to figure out what domains you want to use for what purposes,
and how you want to deliver to Mailman.

Also, look at your data/virtual-mailman. Is the mapping there like

test2 at yugi.us<mailto:test2 at yugi.us>    test2 at localhost
...

or is it

test2 at mail.yugi.us<mailto:test2 at mail.yugi.us>    test2 at localhost

If the latter, you have to post to test2 at mail.yugi.us<mailto:test2 at mail.yugi.us>, not test2 at yugi.us<mailto:test2 at yugi.us>
or fix your list's host names and rerun genaliases.
