I have totally rebuilt my system and am trying to 'Do It Right The First
Time' (DIRTFT).
Not quite succeeding. See below, I am hung up with no
/etc/mailman/virtual-mailman

this is the same as the doc files I have been reading. So I studied
postfix a bit more and took a plunge and got most things working.
Rather I got the list I created with the web interface working, but not
the mailman list I created with the script in the beginning. Now that
might have been because I did not have other things set up right.
I have one test user subscribed to both the 'mailman' and the 'newlist'
lists. The 'newlist' works. But with the 'mailman' list I get the error:
<mail...@mailman.htt-consult.com>: mail for mailman.htt-consult.com
loops back to myself
Note this is the same domain as newl...@mailman.htt-consult.com And
mailman.htt-consult.com is a virtual host name.
I'm guessing you followed the Postfix integration instructions as
indicated by the below, but you had previously created the 'mailman'
list so its virtual mappings are not in virtual-mailman.
This time I 'thought' I had everything together. I had my mm_cfg.py
configured as before; I had copied it from the system before the
reinstall and just overwrote what was there. I modified
/etc/postfix/main.cf as instructed. I was able to run the:
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/newlist mailman
And it created the /etc/mailman/aliases and aliases.db files. But no
virtual-mailman files. Ooops. I did not setup a SQL table entry for my
virtual host: mailman.htt-consult.com. I went back and added this to
the domain table and ran the
Run as root or mailman
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/genaliases
to rebuild the aliases and virtual-mailman files from the current
config.
But still no virtual-mailman. Also I am not getting the URL
http://mailman.htt-consult.com/mailman to work. I **THINK** I have
properly merged the Amahi template with the mailman.conf files in
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ But either I still have it wrong, or the lack of the
virtual-mailman files is impacting this as well.
So do I delete the mailman list (how?) and try again???
If you need further help, please post the output of 'postconf -n', the
relevant parts of main.cf and the delivery status message from the
Postfix log or the received DSN when you attempt to mail to a list
address.
When I first ran the '.../newlist mailman' it created the mailman list
and printed out lines to add to /etc/aliases and then to run
newaliases. Now when I ran this I had NOT added the MTA line to the
mm_cfg.py file and that might have been why it was printed in this
manner? Anyway below is my current mm_cfg.py and output from 'postconf
-n'. I am planning on doing a rebuild of the system and see if I can
get through in one go-around a complete system build. If I can, then I
can move my mail folders over from the running system and go live with
the new. If not, well some more fiddling until I can try again....
mm-cfg.py (comment lines pulled for compactness):
[...]
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'mailman.htt-consult.com'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mailman.htt-consult.com'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = 'mailman.htt-consult.com'
The above is a problem. It needs to be a sequence of domains, not a
single domain. This needs to be fixed before running genaliases. Make
it
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['mailman.htt-consult.com']
The square brackets are important.
MTA = 'Postfix'
postconf -n:
[...]
This looks OK to me. The important things are the mailman entries in
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/mailman/aliases
and
virtual_alias_maps =
proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf,
mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf,
hash:/etc/mailman/virtual-mailman
However, you probably also want
recipient_delimiter = +
if you are ever going to enable any VERP options in Mailman.
I got this right this time...
I think :)
