Re: [Mailman-Users] File placement during installation...

[Bill . Costa]

Note that the 'old' locations in the FAQ article refer to older
Red Hat package locations where it was mostly configured with
--prefix=/var/mailman


OK -- that was part of the puzzle I was missing, that the older
locations were for the former Red Hat packaging, not old Mailman
defaults.


...if strict FHS compliance is not a requirement, I'd recommend
just configuring with --prefix=/usr/lib/mailman and
--with-var-prefix=/var/lib/mailman and going with that.


That sounds like a reasonable approach.  Thanks!

...BC

Re: [Mailman-Users] [Mailman-Developers] Error while installing Mailman

Please keep threads on the list unless sending personal, private or
security information.

What happened when you did the useradd command?

There are two issues with the manual:

1) useradd -c''GNU Mailman'' -s /no/shell -d /no/home -g mailman mailman

should be either

useradd -c"GNU Mailman" -s /no/shell -d /no/home -g mailman mailman

or

useradd -c'GNU Mailman' -s /no/shell -d /no/home -g mailman mailman

2) you need to be root or use sudo

Also, if you don't actually know how to add a user to your system, you
may not have enough sysadmin experience to successfully install mailman.
The installation manual tries to be complete, but it assumes a certain
level of background knowledge.

Re: [Mailman-Users] No mail received

[Gretchen R Beck]

Hi Bryan,

I've encountered something similar when there is a problem with the Outgoing 
qrunner (it's behind, a disk is over quota, sendmail -- which we use for the 
MTA layer -- is throwing an error, the list has gotten tagged by the spam 
filter, etc).  How do your queues look?

If the posts that aren't received are all From: yahoo.com and aol.com
addresses, DMARC is the likely reason. See the FAQs at
 and .

On the other hand, if this is independent of sender, see the FAQs at
 and .

Does Mailman record bounces for the undelivered mail? See Mailman's
'bounce' and 'error' logs if you have access.
