Yup. That is exactly what's happening (except that it's a virtual mailbox and not a local user account). >This is really a Postfix question, not a Mailman question Yes and no. I'd say it's more of a clueless-pilot question, esp. since Postfix is doing exactly what it's told -- in this instance, deliver messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The problem here is mailman-specific, though I'm unsure whether the solution is in mailman configuration or some combo of postfix and mailman configs. I've read and reread and reread the mailman docs, and I don't see where and how virtual addresses get piped to the command above. The file /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases has commands like the above; the file /usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman does not. For example, aliases has: pctest: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post pctest" but virtual-mailman has: [EMAIL PROTECTED] pctest I'm missing how to glue the two together, and this is NOT covered in the existing mailman docs. Once I get this running I'd be glad to write up documentation and submit it for possible inclusion. , but you >might find the post at ><http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-January/055502.html> >to be helpful. Thanks. That post in turn links to an earlier howto which covers aliases but not virtual-mailman.

Actually, the opposite. I'd set up a virtual mailbox for "pctest" but none of the rest of the pctest-* hierarchy. It's not covered in the docs, but from Mark's email I gather that I shouldn't need this step -- instead mail should be piped to the command Mark gave above. > > Basically, postfix delivers message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but nothing > > happens > > after that. > >i don't use mysql, but my epiphany was when i realized i needed >two separate mappings to be in place to get postfix and mailman >working together. you need the virtual domain map (which i believe >you have) and you need the map that takes the result of the virtual >domain map, and turns it into a "real" destination. Right. That's really my question -- how is that done? thanks! /wsbs ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
