Thanks, Mark. I'm on vac today but will find out if all email is sent to exchange (my guess is that it is because of prior problems with ecartis bounced messages). Sendmail doesn't have a user or group. /etc/group shows smmsp::25: I forgot where I found that information (to use 25)
I'll update you on my progress next week. I need to finish up by end of year. Thanks for the help. jeanne ________________________________________ From: Mark Sapiro [m...@msapiro.net] Sent: Friday, December 19, 2008 10:42 To: Jeanne Ilchuk; Mail List - Mailman Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] connect to exchange server Jeanne Ilchuk wrote: >I was looking thru the archives and found this note from 2004 (below) which >gave me the impression that it did not work with exchange.

I just found "Integrating Mailman with >Sendmail" in the mailman docs, so I'm working with that. I ran the Makefile >with these parms- >$ ./configure --with-mail-gid=25 --with-cgi-gid=nobody --with-python=/usr/bin/ >python --with-mailhost=mail --with-urlhost=mailman Is 25 the gid under which sendmail will invoke the mail wrapper? --with-mailhost and --with-urlhost are fully qualified domain names for email and web respectively. e.g mail.example.com and mail...@example.com. >Do I need to run again with cgi-gid=mailnull ? or can I just chgrp? You need to configure with --with-cgi-gid= whatever group apache will use when invoking Mailman's CGIs and no, you can't just chgrp unless by that you mean change the group that apache uses. >--with-mailhost=mail is the hostname our exchange server and assuming you qualify it, this is the host that Mailman will use in list addresses, envelope senders, etc. If it is possible, you could avoid a lot of pain by having incoming mail to Mailman go directly to sendmail at mailman.example.com, and skip exchange all together. The only reason this wouldn't work is if your network route all external port 25 connects to the exchange server. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
