Dear list, I try to get to run mailman 2.1.9 with sendmail on Debian 4.0.
With mailman everything seems to be fine. Well, I can create new lists and get a confirmation of that. Check_perms -f says that everything is all right and in the log-files of mailman are no errors at all. I configured it with: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mailman --with-mail-gid=mail --with-cgi-gid=www-data --with-mailhost=h1228898.stratoserver.net --with-urlhost=h1228898.stratoserver.net With: "--with-mail-gid=mail" I am not so very sure. In the manual is written: "On systems using sendmail, the ‘sendmail.cf’ configuration file designates the group id of sendmail processes using the DefaultUser option." So I watched sendmail.cf and it`s written: "# default UID (can be username or userid:groupid) O DefaultUser=mail:mail" I added the user "mail" with "useradd -g mail -s /bin/false mail" " - so this should be correct? Sendmail I installed with: apt-get install sendmail In /etc/aliases I have the default-mailmanlist and I have: help: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post help" help-admin: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin help" help-bounces: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces help" help-confirm: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman confirm help" help-join: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman join help" help-leave: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman leave help" help-owner: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner help" help-request: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request help" help-subscribe: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe help" help-unsubscribe: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe help" After that I did "newaliases" and got a confirmation of that. In sendmail.cf there is No entry for smrsh, so I should not have that. The problem is still: If I send a mail to the mailinglist it`s not posted to the members of the list. Has anybode experiences with mailman in combination with sendmail? Is there anything that is important to look at? What I don`t understand: If I get a confirmation after creating a mailinglist or after subscribing a user to a list it should mean that sendmail runs correctly? Or not????
