[Mailman-Users] Need assistance configuring Mailman version 2.1.15 on RHEL7

Fri Aug 9 08:52:52 EDT 2019

Thank you so much for providing me guidance, Jim.  We have mailing lists on our in-house which we want to decommission.  So, we have to keep the email addresses same for the respective mailing lists (means they must have @fdu.edu domain).

I wrote a program to create mailing lists using a default config file which has default settings including domain set to fdu.edu .  I added code which takes the list of subscribers for the mailing list exported from old system and subscribes them to the newly created mailing list which looks like is working based on some internal testing.

Thank you again for your help and guidance.  We really appreciate it.

We would like to have email addresses of the mailing lists to end with @fdu.edu so that someone sends email tolist1 at fdu.edu  and the subscribers of the the mailing list list1 will receive it. Can some one please provide us some guidance on how can we accomplish this?

An important consideration is whether you want to let your Mailman
system create an arbitrary mailing list.  For example would your mail
admin allow the Mailman system create a list named: vgandhi at fdu.edu?

The easiest solution is to create mailing lists in a separate name space
(domain).  The common practice is to create lists under lists.fdu.edu.
Then Mm-handler is the easy solution.  You can ignore all the troubles
with generating aliases files.  If your mail admin really wants the list
to appear in fdu.edu they can add the aliases under fdu.edu.  Mm-handler
is shown for sendmail but it will work in any mailer.

My updates to mm-handler are on: http://sw.ziobro.info/mm-handler/
