Hi Evan,
You've got the same toolset as I do. Maybe I can offer some tips.
Note: I'm something of a rookie myself. I got mailman up/running about
8 months ago and have 3 mailing lists with small subscriber
counts(around 500 for all 3) and low traffic volumes. The info below is
how _I_ have it working and may not be the best way to do it.
1) In /etc/postfix/main.cf there are two mailman related lines:
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual,
hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases,
hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
As you can guess, my main mailman directory is /var/lib/mailman (which
is where Mandrake puts things). Your location may be different.
The data/* files are maintained by mailman itself.
2) /etc/postfix/master.cf doesn't reference mailman at all.
3) /etc/mailman is the mail man configuration file. On my system there
is a symlink from/usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py to it. It has
several site specific lines at the end of the file:
##################################################
# Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line.
#VERP_FORMAT='%(bounces)s+%(mailbox)s=%(host)s'
#VERP_REGEXP=r'^(?P<bounces>[^+]+?)\+(?P<mailbox>[^=]+)=(?P<host>[EMAIL
PROTECTED])
@.*$'
VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS = Yes
VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES = Yes
VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1
#VERP_CONFIRM_FORMAT='%(addr)s+%(cookie)s'
#VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP=r'^(?P<addr>[^+]+?)\+(?P<cookie>[EMAIL PROTECTED])@.*$'
VERP_CONFIRMATIONS=Yes
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'example.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.example.com'
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
MTA = 'Postfix'
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = [ DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST ]
There are a few extra commented lines in the above. Offhand I don't
recall whether they show mailman default values or alternate setting
that I could use but don't.
HTH,
David
