Hello!
I've just cut over my email server to a new installation of Exim, which is
running on one IP address while the old Sendmail installation runs on another
IP address (same physical host).
Normal mail works fine, but I need for Mailman to send its outbound mails
exclusively through the new server.
I changed the SMTPHOST and SMTPPORT settings in mm_cfg.py, deleted the .pyc
file (which is then recreated on the next qrunner run), and still I observe
that Mailman insists on using the old server. The setting for DELIVERY_MODULE
is "SMTPDirect" in both Defaults.py and mm_cfg.py.
Is there something else I need to do when updating mm_cfg.py, to get the
changes to be effective? The fact that the mm_cfg.pyc file is being
updated (and "strings mm_cfg.pyc" shows the correct values inside)
suggests that the right directories are being accessed.
In MM 2.1.4 the qrunners are daemons, not cron jobs. Try using $prefix/bin/mailmanctl restart to restart the qrunners.
btw, you do not need to delete the .pyc as Python determines the need to recompile the .py from the modification date on the file
All the web-based interfaces and archives work correctly.
It is probably running these that has led to mm_cfg.py to be recompiled, confusing you into thinking that the qrunners are using the new version when they are not. They are probably using the older version they loaded when they were started.
I'm running Mailman 2.1.4, just installed from a clean source build.
Thanks!
Scott
