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
Hi, I am new to mailman and after apt-get install mailman following the INSTALL doc I tried a check_perms, that gave me lots of errors. Trying to fix these with -f gave even more errors. Is this normal? Did I something wrong? Are there any special things I have to do to get it running?

Hi ! I'm a newbie when it comes to the more complex aspects of debian, so if you could send me step by step instructions on getting my install to work, that would be really appreciated. I haven't tried anything that I didn't know how to undo. I would like to get Mailman running Postfix if that makes a difference. Actually it was very easy, as most installs with deb. Packages are, to install mailman. For the : Apt-get install mailman worked out of the box. I am also running postfix and I have set up mailman with a couple of list under different domains. You don´t need to run ./configure anywhere The only thing I had to do was setting an alias for die mailman cgis . Anyway I don´t know if this is OT here ... __ Nik Engel NETWAYS GmbH Senior Systems Engineer Deutschherrnstr. 47a Fon.0911/92885-13 D-90429 Nürnberg Fax.0911/92885-33 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.netways.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Mailman within VHOST
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.
