[Mailman-Users] Virtual Domains stopped working

[Jan Steinman]

Environment: MacOS X 10.6.8 server on Mac Mini, Mailman v2.1.14, as supplied 
with MacOS X. I have a main MX mail server (mail.bytesmiths.com) and a number 
of other domain names, all sharing the same static IP. I run my own DNS, with 
all domains pointing MX records to mail.bytesmiths.com. Each of these domains 
have one or more mailman lists that were working properly a few days ago.

I added a new list to one of the domains (ecoreality.org) using the Mailman web 
interface. Then all my lists stopped working, with error messages like:
: user unknown

(I thought just the new one wasn't working, until someone forwarded me the 
reject notice they got when they tried to post to a list.)

/etc/postfix/main.cf refers to two mailman files:
virtual_alias_maps = 
hash:/etc/postfix/virtual,hash:/var/mailman/data/virtual-mailman,hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_users
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases,hash:/var/mailman/data/aliases

I went into /var/mailman/data and noticed that "aliases" was newer than 
"aliases.db". So in what was perhaps a foolish shot in the dark, I did "postmap 
aliases" and "postmap virtual-mailman" to refresh the .db files, but to no 
avail.

I can still get in the admin pages for the lists I administer, and I'm still 
getting subscription notifications via web sign-up, but sending out through at 
least several of the lists I've tried all fail.

Any clues what I can do to fix this? I'm fairly competent and happy to be 
pointed in the right direction.

Thanks!

Yeah, Barry is kept pretty busy by his other non-real job, being the Python 
FLUFL.

Not to mention his other real job, which is still something I have absolutely 
no knowledge of whatsoever, and which made it rather difficult last night to 
explain my previous experience with Atlassian products to Sarah Goff-Dupont.


You will definitely find more Barry-clones-in-progress on the developers list, 
especially as it relates to mm3.

Sorry, that message came in too late in my otherwise busy day to respond on
the developers list.  I don't mind mm3 discussions on the users list, but
please be aware that I pay *much* more attention to the developers list these
days (sadly, while I still perfect my clone army), so that's probably the best
place to discuss it for now.

Cheers,

No cows, either, or ducks.  This is SCIENCE, Stephen, not agronomics.

I like this part.  What engineers don't understand is that the vital
force inside all electronic devices is smoke.  All the little
jiggery-pokery whatsamadiddle parts work fine until they break open and
the smoke escapes.
