I'm having trouble with a list where members are continuously disabled due

I've fiddled with the settings under bounce processing but so far nothing I
do there is helping. I'm new to mailman so sorry if this is basic but
Googling the problem has just resulted in more confusion.


Just set

Should Mailman perform automatic bounce processing?
(Details for bounce_processing)

to No on the web admin Bounce processing page.

If you want to continue to process bounces, but disable automatic
removal, you can't do that, but you could set
bounce_you_are_disabled_warnings to a large number so members whose
delivery is disabled by bounce would not be removed for years.

If you don't want to disable delivery at all due to bouncing, then turn
off bounce processing as above.

The real solution though is to understand why these members mail is
bouncing and to fix that issue. As long as bounce_processing is Yes
and bounce_notify_owner_on_disableis Yes, the list owner will be sent
a copy of the disabling bounce which may help diagnose the issue.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Ancient messages

Something went wrong and Mailman stoped working.

So, I've run 'mailmanctl -s start' because after the first try Mailman said 
that there was a lock.


See the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/_4A9 and make sure that only
one of each of Mailman's qrunners is running.


And Mailman starts sending again ALL the messages that was sent until today. I 
mean, every message!!

I don't know how to fix that.

I've cleaned/removed all files in qfiles directory, restarted Postfix, 
restarted Mailman, killed all mailman process and start again.

After some seconds a huge amount of ancient messages floods my server again.

How can I clear EVERYTHING that is stored in Mailman?


If you have emptied all the qfiles/* directories, there is nothing left
for Mailman to do. Either the messages are already queued in Postfix,
or something else is reposting these messages to Mailman. Examination
of Mailman's logs may help.

There is some problem with your aliases and virtual maps. It looks like
you have installed aliases as virtual_alias_maps instead of alias_maps.
Also, the list name in the aliases should be just the name, not the
email address unless you have also installed some virtual hosting patch
that makes the listname have the domain included. See
http://www.list.org/mailman-install/postfix-integration.html and if
gdsolutions.com.ve is a Postfix virtual domain, see
http://www.list.org/mailman-install/postfix-virtual.html.


 As I have spent days trying to make this work, I decided to ask for
 help. At this point, I am thinking about recompiling mailman with a
 custom --with-mail-gid. Any advices?


That won't change this.


 This is my setup: python  2.4.3 postfix 2.3.3 spamassassin installed
 as a daemon virtual domains  virtual mailboxes I can send full
 configuration details as needed.


Note that Mailman/Postfix integration as described in the above
referenced manual pages is for virtual alias domains and not virtual
mailbox domains. You can make this work for list domains that are
virtual mailbox domains if necessary. See the FAQ at
http://wiki.list.org/x/ZoCj.

If you need further help from this list, we need to see the output of
postconf -n, the contents of mm_cfg.py, and assuming you have MTA =
'Postfix' in mm_cfg.py, the output of ls -l /usr/local/mailman/data.

Also, we need to know what if any patches you have installed.

To clear this one up once and for all:

It's perfectly possible to use virtual_alias_maps in 
virtual_mailbox_domains and there's no need to resort to messing with 
postfix transports.


See the commented example at 
http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_mailbox


I use this setup all the time and it just works.

Thanks Geoff. I have updated the FAQ entry to indicate it is not needed
in the simple virtual_mailbox_domains case but can be used to generate
mappings for other purposes.
