Your actually going to want "--with-mail-gid=mailman" with your setup. None of the mailman stuff goes through vpopmail. You don't even need to setup a domain with vadddomain, so you'll probably want to vdeldomain. When you put "list.mydomain.tld:mailman" in virtualdomains file in qmail, your telling qmail to send all mail that goes to that domain to the local user "mailman", unlike your other vpopmail domains which should look like "virtual.com:virtual.com" - meaning send to vpopmail to handle. So vpopmail has nothing to do with mailman/qmail. So the reason your going to want to configure with the mailman gid is so mailman has access to the mail being delivered to the mailman user instead of if you were handling lists on virtual domains setup in vpopmail (which is a pain with qmail), where you would need to configure with vpopmail actually, not vchkpwd (I think anyway). This is the reason setting up with lists.mydomain.tld instead of just mydomain.tld is so much easier. > 2.

What is correct here? Again, get rid of all entries of lists.mydomain.tld in vpopmail, you won't need them. You will need the .qmail-default file in the mailman user's home directory (which like I mentioned before might be elsewhere from /home/mailman). > 3.

What am I doing wrong? > Is there maybe something wrong with my "qmail-to-mailman.py"-file? There's two ways to doing this. The first is using the script provided inline with the README.QMAIL file to generate those .qmail-mylist-* files, and doing that for EVERY list. The second, is creating a .qmail-default file that has runs the qmail-to-mailman.py script which parses everything and sends it where it needs to go. It also handles any new lists you create as well. That's the reason it's the highly suggested route. It sounds like you either have the wrong path to the qmail-to-mailman script, or the permissions are messed up (check my first note). Another thing you need to check is "su mailman" and run bin/check_perms script to make sure mailman has all the access it needs. > 4.
