Migrating to Mailman, I'd like to do something like this:
lists.example.org-list1:
"|/var/lib/mailmen/lists.example.org/mail/mailman post list1"
where I have a dedicated Mailman install under
/var/lib/mailmen/lists.example.org just for that domain.
Should this all work OK with Mailman?
Yes.
Will Mailman even notice that the envelope address was changed into
something else or does it only look at what is inside the message?
I don't see that any envelope address changes, but in any case, Mailman
doesn't look at envelope recipient. Either the message gets to Mailman
or it doesn't. If it got there, Mailman must have been a recipient.
Mailman does look for the list address in To: or Cc: if the list's
require_explicit_destination is yes.
Is there any way to automatically create aliases like this, or any hook
where Mailman can call a script that I use for creating the aliases?
See MTA = 'Postfix' and related settings. You may or may not need to
hack Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py.
I've just had a look at the postfix-to-mailman.py script included with
the Debian package so I'm going to try that. It appears that will get
me halfway to what I want, as it eliminates the need to maintain these
aliases and virtual aliases. There is some confusion about how MTA
should be set:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718284
and I suspect that further effort (the type of things discussed in my other
email) is required to have a site list in each virtual domain.
When I looked at the Ubuntu/Debian package, I saw that there were lots
of patches, many of which were undocumented. And one patch deletes a
library that might be needed. Because of this, I decided to build my
own package for Ubuntu based on the SourceForge source. The only
Debian patch I included was one that placed libraries in directories
appropriate for Debian/Ubuntu.
Also, as discussed previously on this list, the
postfix-to-mailman.py
script is NOT part of the SourceForge Mailman, and its use is
discouraged. There is a Mailman FAQ that describes this
script and the recommendation not to use it.
I have details on building the package, if anyone wants them.
