Package: mailman3
Version: 3.3.3-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Thank you for all your work on the mailman3 package. I have just started to try
to install this and migrating a mailman2 residual configuration.
I have been unable to get mailman to receive mail from Exim4. While exim4 is
selecting the correct router and transport I am getting:
2021-10-21 22:29:38 1mdfd3-005vLS-T4 == rolep...@lists.piglets.com
R=mailman3_router T=mailman3_transport defer (111): Connection refused
on all emails I am trying to send as tests to the lists.
----- Exim Config -----
My exim4 transport is as follows:
# /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/55_mm3_transport
mailman3_transport:
driver = smtp
protocol = lmtp
allow_localhost
hosts = localhost
port = MM3_LMTP_PORT
rcpt_include_affixes = true
and the MM3_LMTP_PORT is defined here:
# /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/25_mm3_macros
# The colon-separated list of domains served by Mailman.
domainlist mm_domains=lists.piglets.com
MM3_LMTP_PORT=8024
# MM3_HOME must be set to mailman's var directory, wherever it is
# according to your installation.
MM3_HOME=/var/lib/mailman3
MM3_UID=list
MM3_GID=list
################################################################
# The configuration below is boilerplate:
# you should not need to change it.
# The path to the list receipt (used as the required file when
# matching list addresses)
MM3_LISTCHK=MM3_HOME/lists/${local_part}.${domain}
----- mta in mailman.cfg -----
The [mta] stanza of my mailman.cfg files is as below
[mta]
# The class defining the interface to the incoming mail transport agent.
incoming: mailman.mta.exim4.LMTP
#incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP
# The callable implementing delivery to the outgoing mail transport agent.
# This must accept three arguments, the mailing list, the message, and the
# message metadata dictionary.
outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver
# How to connect to the outgoing MTA. If smtp_user and smtp_pass is given,
# then Mailman will attempt to log into the MTA when making a new connection.
smtp_host: 127.0.0.1
smtp_port: 25
smtp_user:
smtp_pass:
# Where the LMTP server listens for connections. Use 127.0.0.1 instead of
# localhost for Postfix integration, because Postfix only consults DNS
# (e.g. not /etc/hosts).
lmtp_host: localhost
lmtp_port: 8024
# Where can we find the mail server specific configuration file? The path can
# be either a file system path or a Python import path. If the value starts
# with python: then it is a Python import path, otherwise it is a file system
# path. File system paths must be absolute since no guarantees are made about
# the current working directory. Python paths should not include the trailing
# .cfg, which the file must end with.
configuration: python:mailman.config.exim4
#configuration: python:mailman.config.postfix
-----
I have tried restarting all the relevant services. Telnet shows the runner to
be listening
root@gondolin:~# telnet localhost 8024
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 gondolin.piglets.org GNU Mailman LMTP runner 2.0
But for some reason all email inbound is being rejected as connection refused.
I have probably made an elementary error, but I'm not sure where if so, so
apologies in advance.
Kind regards,
CT.
PS. I also ran into the issue #996560 of broken web links and fixed it with the
same workaround
