Hi All:
Me:
Solaris 10
Postfix 2.4.6
Mailman 2.1.12rc2
Python 2.4.4
postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py
I have: (2) domain names for the same host, of the form:
namexxx.department.domain.tld (has an A and MX record)
nameyyy.department.domain.tld (has a CNAME and MX record)
What I originally hoped for was to host some Mailman lists on my server
and still have a handful of user accounts on the server be able to receive
email directly. Both the lists and the local users would have the same
email address after the @, like so:
list...@namexxx.department.domain.tld
list...@namexxx.department.domain.tld
user...@namexxx.department.domain.tld
user...@namexxx.department.domain.tld
After studying things for a while it seemed clear that maybe Mailman is
not supposed to do that, and that I'd need to add a level to the domain
name for Mailman to take over for it's lists, like this?
list...@lists.namexxx.department.domain.tld
^^^^^
user...@namexxx.department.domain.tld
user...@namexxx.department.domain.tld
But...
..adding that additional level ('lists') puts me at five levels. I'm
trying to keep things as simple looking as can for my users. So, I
thought what I could do instead is create a second host name for Mailman
to use, like this:
list...@nameyyy.department.domain.tld
list...@nameyyy.department.domain.tld
user...@namexxx.department.domain.tld
user...@namexxx.department.domain.tld
My 'pain' is coming from frustration and confusion trying to learn Postfix
and Mailman well enough to figure out whether I can do any of this or not.
I've been mucking around in the configs of both and trying to follow
examples and suggestions in the documentation and from information found
by sifting through them Internets with Google ;)
Do any of you have a take on it you would be kind enough to share with me?
Thanks very much, for any/all help or advice, comments, etc.
-John
