[Mailman-Users] Installation woes
I'm really excited about switching my newsletter list from majordomo over to Mailman, but I'm having an installation issue I thought I'd run by you all. I'm on FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE (just updated yesterday). I only have Python 2.2, but I'm not certain that's my issue. According to the README.BSD I used: make DIRGETGID=: install But make comes back with: Creating architecture independent directories... chmod o-r /usr/local/mailman/archives/private Creating architecture dependent directories... make: don't know how to make install. Stop *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/local/mailman-2.1.1. Any help would be appreciated. I admit that I am not a FreeBSD expert, but I am willing to learn. TIA.

User unknown This is your MTA (sendmail) telling you it does not know about the list's mail alias(es). Have you added the list's mail aliases to the sendmail aliases file and rebuilt the sendmail aliases database? Which is better, to add the name to the aliases file or to put it into the virtusertable? Of course, this doesn't just apply to Mailman, but to any user I'm aliasing. Does anyone know the real rules about what's an alias and who is a virtual user? My guess is that aliases would be used for real accounts on the system but that virtual users would be programs like Mailman or users who don't have a physical account on system but are using a system address. Thoughts?

[snip] ...if you're using FreeBSD, just go ahead and use the Mailman port -- that's what I do ;-) You're the man! In the README.BSD file. Wow. Glad to make your acquaintance. I did that already, but I'm still having trouble. I cannot get it to install from the mailman-2.1.1 directory at all. Question: I am told NOT to do it as root, yet I'm getting permission violations up the ying-yang when I run ./configure. /usr/local/mailman is configured as it says in the INSTALL doc; it's owned by mailman (both) and the permissions are drwxrwxsr-x. Yet it won't install. Granted, I don't fully understand all the setuid/setgid stuff with the tiny s in there and all that. My temptation is just to go ahead and install as root, but the instructions say specifically NOT to. And this still doesn't address that Make doesn't understand install.
