Right. >I already solved this by telling Postfix to allow mail from local >senders without authentication (permit_mynetworks), but I wonder if >Mailman could authenticate itself to the SMTP server. There are various patches for this, but if you're using a local server, permit_mynetworks is the way to go. That said, see <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-October/047086.html> for one simple patch. Also see <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1798683&group_id=103&atid=300103>. >Another option would be to force Mailman to use some local mail delivery >facilities instead of TCP/IP.

Here a Postfix thing called "pickup" is invoked, instead of smtpd. >No authentication is required, I guess. mail(1) can, how about Mailman? Mailman can use the sendmail (or other) command to deliver mail. See the settings DELIVERY_MODULE and SENDMAIL_CMD and their documentation in Defaults.py, but DON'T DO IT. See the documentation in the Mailman/Handlers/Sendmail.py module for reasons. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
