I think here is your problem.  You've set up your Mailman aliases as being 
virtual but you've put listtest in mydestination (which makes it not 
virtual).


Instead, I'd recommend doing:

virtual_mailbox_domains = listtest.company.org


MM_CFG.PY
DEFAULT_URL_HOST   = 'listtest.company.org'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'listtest.company.org'
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
MTA = 'Postfix'


You'll also need to add:

POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['listtest.company.org']

for Mailman to populate the virtual file when new lists are created.

HTH,
Geoff.

Hmm.  No good shared group solutions in this space that I know of.  Google lets 
you have a group calendar that can be shared read-only, but you want to 
carefully control who is allowed to make changes to it.

SurveyMonkey and PollDaddy are two solutions in this space.  I know some of the 
SurveyMonkey folks in SF -- they're good people.

I think a wiki would be at least a good way to solve all these problems, if not 
the best way.

The problem is that you're not going to find a unified solution to all these 
problems.  You can run separate services for different parts of the problem 
space, as we do for list.org -- the mailing lists are hosted at python.org 
(they came first), the main website is hosted on private servers that few 
people have access to and mirrored by the fine folks at gnu.org (among others), 
the wiki is hosted by Atlassian on behalf of list.org, and there are various 
bug tracking systems that have been tried out over the years.

But those are still multiple separate services, located at various different 
locations, and no one person that I know of (other than maybe Barry) has had a 
hand in setting each of them up or is continuing to be involved in their 
ongoing maintenance.

> Any suggestions?

The biggest suggestion I'd make is to select tools based primarily on how 
useful they will be today and how easy they will be to administer on an ongoing 
basis once they are initially configured.

Don't waste time "overbuying" for future capacity and features that you may not 
ever need, especially since that may make it less likely that the system in 
question actually gets launched in the first place -- witness the various bug 
tracking systems that we've tried to use over the years.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman & POSTFIX Configuration Help

2012-08-18 Thread Futchko, Rose

I am writing for some help regarding Postfix configuration. 

I cannot seem to get POSTFIX configured properly to transfer mail to the
mailing list installed on the same server. I followed many steps over
the last few days, and the last one I followed is at
http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html under the section Mailing
Lists.

Can someone please look at this and let me know what I am missing?

Basically, POSTFIX has been configured for base email to be sent to
x...@mail-test.company.org and I would like the mail list to use
x...@listtest.company.org

DYN-DNS 
listtest.company.orgA   216.111.222.85

[Mailman-Users] Postfix and virtual user ( relay dovecot -> user unknown )

2012-08-18 Thread Sébatien Andreatta

Hello,

I have been looking for weeks on google , but i have not found valid answer
:

How to integrate Mailman with postfix without the use of
postfix-to-mailman.py script wich is not officialy supported ?

I have a working installation : Postfix -> Amavisd ( clamd , spamassassin )
And dovecot

I followed all the howto that i have found but it still doesn't work.

I would like to have all my lists on a subdomain : lists.mydomain.be

So,  how can I do for deliver all mail for t...@lists.mydomain.be by local

[Mailman-Users] Administratively subscribe other users via email

2012-08-18 Thread Nick Bright

I'm sorry if this is a repeated question; but I've spent the last hour 
searching/reading faq's and not finding anything useful.


I'm creating a newsletter mailing list, which I've successfully done - 
now, I am trying to get my billing system to automatically add new 
customers to the mailing list.


The easiest way to do this would be to have my billing system send an 
email to mailman to subscribe the user.


However, I have as of yet been unable to locate any information on how 
to do so.


I've tried using the "Approved:" header with a subscribe command in the 
mail body, following the subscribe command syntax at 
http://www.list.org/mailman-member/node41.html, but the response back 
from mailman is that the commands remain unprocessed.


What is the correct syntax for doing this?

[Mailman-Users] Alternatives for Yahoo Groups like Web Features

2012-08-18 Thread Jason Glazer

I am looking for some suggestions on how to provide some 
Yahoo Group like web features for some existing mailing 
lists. I run a variety of mailings lists related to building 
energy performance on the onebuilding.org web site using 
mailman and hosted by dreamhost. For some of the mailing 
lists, users would like to have access to some additional 
web capabilities similar to what Yahoo Groups provides. I am 
looking for suggestions for web based systems to provide 
some of these additional capabilities that are open-source. 
The kinds of additional features are:


a) a way for designated members to upload files that others 
can download


b) a way for designated members to add events to a shared 
calendar that anyone can see


c) a way to conduct simple polls to gauge interest in topics

d) a way for members to add links to a page to build up a 
library of good links


e) a way to create a FAQ page

f) perhaps a wiki-like way to create and edit pages in a 
freeform basis


What I am looking for are suggestions on what has worked 
well together with an existing mailing list. What have 
others used and found easy to administer and easy for list 
members to use.


Any suggestions?

Thanks

Jason

[Mailman-Users] How to disable notifications to moderator and owner of pending posts?

2012-08-18 Thread Mikael Jokela

Dear Mailman-users!

I have a list configuration question. I would like to totally disable
email notifications for a list regarding pending posts. The list
moderator or admin would login to the admindb page from time to time
regardless any notifications. The moderator and admin would get
notifications of membership requests and such but none of pending
posts.

I can't find a configuration parameter for this. How would you do this?

I'm using Mailman version 2.1.9 installed from CentOS5 RPM.

Cheers, Mikael

[Mailman-Users] Mailman Problems under OSX Lion

2012-08-18 Thread David Dodell

This list is my last hope on getting my problems fixed.

I am running OSX Lion  (not Mountain Lion). Mailman was part of the default 
installation.

I have two issues which I have gotten absolutely no help from Apple Enterprise 
Support ... basic answer, we don't support open source software and couldn't 
answer me on why they installed / advertised mailing lists but don't support it 
... but I regress.


(1) First issue is cosmetic.At the bottom of each administrative page, 
mailman does not display the icons which I see on ever other mailman website 
... basically the mailman / python logos.   Not a real big deal, besides the 
cosmetic irk.   I've checked the docs, found the path in the config file, and 
sure enough the images are there in the path, but they still do not display.   
Ideas?


(2) Second issue is more serious.I can't get list moderation to work.A 
message comes in to be moderator, I get email notification of this.   However, 
if I login to the administrator page, "pending moderator requests", if I try to 
approve, reject, or any other command on that page, NOTHING happens ... the 
message keeps appearing, no action is taken etc.


I've repaired all permissions, but besides that, lost on what to try next.

Would appreciate any insight.

Thank you.

[Mailman-Users] Problems with Moderation

2012-08-18 Thread David Dodell

I am running mailman on OSX Lion.

Moderation through the web interface does not work.

If I try to do anything from the web interface (see screenshot) ... I can see a 
split second of it accessing the server, and the screen refreshes and goes back 
to this default of "defer"

Just no actions at all work.

Any idea where I should look ... 

Thank you.
