Mailman has a feature to create aliases and possibly virtual alias maps for delivery to Postfix. This has only been implemented for Postfix. It is quite possible to hijack this feature for use with sendmail and people have done so and documented it. This requires setting MTA = 'Postfix' so that Mailman will generate and maintain its data/aliases file containing the list aliases. This also tells Mailman to run the command defined in the POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD setting to update the alias database from the generated data/aliases file. For sendmail, one needs to make a script to do the right thing for the sendmail aliases and set POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD to run that script. This is basically what's documented in steps 1 and 2 at <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-June/037518.html>. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
