Why do you need to mess with the exim config? Just add the lines that the newlist command gives you into your /etc/aliases

something like:

Hi

I followed the howto on the exim website:

http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html

As I am using the split config with exim4 I created a transport called
091_mailman_transport:

mailman_transport:
driver = pipe
command =   /var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman \
'${if def:local_part_suffix \
{${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \
{post}}' \
$local_part
current_directory = /var/lib/mailman
home_directory = /var/lib/mailman
user = list
group = list

and a router called 091_mailman_router:

mailman_router:
driver = accept
domains = example.com
require_files = /var/lib/mailman/lists/$local_part/config.pck
local_part_suffix_optional
local_part_suffix = -bounces : -bounces+* : \
-confirm+* : -join : -leave : \
-owner : -request : -admin : \
-subscribe : -unsubscribe
transport = mailman_transport

those numbers worked for me ensuring they were used before any alias
files.

Doing it that way means that you don't have to add aliases for each new
list as it checks the lists directory to see if there is a list called
whatever there.

Mailman on debian testing

2004-02-05 Thread Marco Scoffier
I am having many problems running mailman on debian testing.  Does
anyone have an easier way of getting a package up and running?
I have gone to the source, and sent the bug report below to the mailman
lists, but I can't believe others haven't gone through this before.

Thanks,

Marco

In many parts of the web interface I am getting the same mailman bug:
It started when confirming a subscription through the online interface:

  File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/OldStyleMemberships.py, line 312, in
setMemberOption
self.__mlist.user_options[memberkey] |= flag
  TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for |=: 'list' and 'int'

I fixed this by changing line 312 from above to :

self.__mlist.user_options[memberkey][0] |= flags

Now I can subscribe, but I get the same typeerror bug after logging
into my options page for this new subscription:

  File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/OldStyleMemberships.py, line 128, in
getMemberOption
  return not not (option  flag)
  TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for : 'list' and 'int'

Makes sense, fix it too, but I also get the same Typeerror when logging
into the admin page:

  File /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/Gui/General.py, line 53, in
GetConfigInfo
optvals = [mlist.new_member_options  bitfields[o] for o in OPTIONS]
  TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for : 'list' and 'int'

Is something else wrong, or should I go and fix all these.  

I am running mailman 2.1.4 on debian testing with python2.3

 Change $listname to the real mailing list localpart and it works out

 but when I migrated to Exim4, I thought I would give this method a
 try, and it's working great.  The only problem with this method isthat
 you don't get virtual domain settings, I suppose.  Can anybody see any

If you do things the way Dale E Martin did it, Exim automatically
notices new lists.  If you do things as above, you have to add those 4
lines to /etc/aliases every time you add a new list.

Sure.  Let me mention two things before you take my example to heart too
much...  First, I migrated this from exim 3 to exim 4 so maybe there is a
better way.  Also, the Debian exim 4 packages distribute the configuration

example, if the mailmain maintainer gets on board then mailman could simply
install it's own bits in the to configuration heirarchy and it should work
out of the box.)  However, I had a fairly customized exim setup and needed
it working quickly, so I went the monolothic file route and have a
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf  Having said all of that, here you go -
anything in [] is my comments to you and not actually in the file.

In addition to the exim4.conf file, then you have to setup lists.  It's

[ that's it for the exim4.conf file ]

In addition to the exim4.conf file, then you have to setup lists.  It's
been a while since I've down this, but I recall it being straightforward
simply following the docs.

Take care,

Re: Exim4 and mailman

2003-11-07 Thread Stephen Gran
This one time, at band camp, Dale E Martin said:
 (No need to copy me, I'm subscribed to the mailing list.)
 
  Yes, Im reading through a guide how to set this up but am getting a little
  confused with what/where to add/edit my exim4.conf file. Do you purhaps have
  an example of what you added? I'm very new to exim and mailman :)
 
 Sure.  Let me mention two things before you take my example to heart too
 much...  First, I migrated this from exim 3 to exim 4 so maybe there is a
 better way.  Also, the Debian exim 4 packages distribute the configuration
 file into bits in a directory structure - for good reasons, I'm sure.  (For
 example, if the mailmain maintainer gets on board then mailman could simply
 install it's own bits in the to configuration heirarchy and it should work
 out of the box.)  However, I had a fairly customized exim setup and needed
 it working quickly, so I went the monolothic file route and have a
 /etc/exim4/exim4.conf  Having said all of that, here you go -
 anything in [] is my comments to you and not actually in the file.

I am not sure I am doing things the 'Right Way', but I am only using
/etc/aliases for my mailman lists, and they are working just fine.

$listname:   |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post $listname
$listname-admin: |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner $listname
$listname-request:   |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd $listname
$listname-owner: $listname-admin

Change $listname to the real mailing list localpart and it works out of 
the box.  With Exim3 I did use the special routers and transports, but
when I migrated to Exim4, I thought I would give this method a try, and
it's working great.  The only problem with this method isthat you don't
get virtual domain settings, I suppose.  Can anybody see any other
problems with it?

Make sure that the mail server(s) for server.example.com know that
server.example.com is a local domain.

 So why is mail sent from the local machine with mailx working, while a

I don't know. Not enough information. You may want to use real hostnames,
so we can see for ourselves (as much as can be seen).

In your Apache httpd.conf file, under the VirtualHost block that
handles your mailman config, force Apache to use https instead of
http, even when somebody types in http.  You do it by adding the
below 2 lines: (you have to have mod_rewrite compiled and installed
in your Apache daemon)

Re: SSL and Mailman?, was Re: Mailing Lists

2001-11-09 Thread Eric Jennings
In your Apache httpd.conf file, under the VirtualHost block that
handles your mailman config, force Apache to use https instead of
http, even when somebody types in http.  You do it by adding the
below 2 lines: (you have to have mod_rewrite compiled and installed
in your Apache daemon)
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.+) https://www.somedomain.com/cgi-bin/mailmanconfig [R,L]

Hello!
I'm using mailman, but only at a *very* small scale.
While beeing satisfied about the ease of configuration and managment
of the lists, I am worried about the fact, that the list administrator
is sending the list password in cleartext over the net when logging in.
Of course I give the admins the advice to use https:// instead of http://
when logging in, but mailman does not enforce it.
I think of diving into the code some day to see into it, but maybe I'm
too paranoid or you have yet a solution to this...
Any thoughts?

Mailman within VHOST

2001-11-04 Thread A.Sleep

Hello all,

I'm attempting to setup Mailman for just one vhosted user.

Once mailman was installed (via apt) I edited the mm_cfg.py to reflect the
default url and host.

I created a lists. subdomain vhost and made the DocumentRoot the mailman
root (/usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin). Then restarted Apache.

When I went to lists.domain/listinfo I get a garbled output. Inbetween the
mess I can see it complaining about the UIG/GID but alas the script doesn't
tell me what gid/uid it's getting (looks like the script isn't being run
correctly to me).

Below is the vhost entry and it's corresponding Directory directive. Please
forgive the dropping of domain/ip data, it's not needed.

Note that I've attempted to use User and Group directives to set the uid/gid
to: www-data (should be the default for any host w/o a user/group directive
anyway) and the list user.

I also set the MAILMAN_UID and MAILMAN_GID to list and www-data to no avail.

Any insight would be wonderful.

VirtualHost [IP]
# User list - Also tried manually setting to www-data
# Group list - Same as above
DocumentRoot /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin
ServerName lists.[domain]
/VirtualHost

Directory /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin
Options ExecCGI
/Directory

multiple mailman for virtual domains

2001-09-26 Thread jens-ingo brodesser

hello,

is there a way of using the debian package mailman in woody for 
multiple mailman installs -- one mailman for each virtual domain.

i would like to make a set up like discribed in the 
/usr/doc/mailman/README.EXIM.gz where it explains in the end to set 
up a mailman install per v-domain.

do have to use the mailman sources in this cas ?

thank you,

Look in exim.conf for a block similar to this  

system_aliases:  
  driver = aliasfile 
  file_transport = address_file
  pipe_transport = address_pipe
  file = /etc/aliases
  search_type = lsearch
  user = list 

and add the last line user = list or perhaps user = mailman and 
see if that helps.

Otherwise read the exim documentation.  The FAQ on 
www.exim.org can be very useful.

Have fun

you're using sendmail with smrsh enabled

look at the smrsh root dir, and modify the ``wrapper'' link to point
