[Mailman-Users] Catchall preventing posts reaching mailman

2006-08-15 Thread Dan Zaz 

Hi list,

I'm running mailman on Fedora Core 1, with Apache 2.0.51. Mail server is 
sendmail. Wasn't a straight forward install, as the server is compiled with 
SuExec, but it seems to be fine in all but one respect; posts are not 
reaching mailman when I'm using the catchall ( @domain.com). Remove this 
catchall, and posts arrive without problem (however, the people who I'm 
installing this for do require the catchall to remain).


I've added the following in /etc/aliases:

## mailman mailing list
mailman:  |/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman
mailman-admin:|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman admin mailman
mailman-bounces:  |/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman bounces mailman
mailman-confirm:  |/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman confirm mailman
mailman-join: |/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman join mailman
mailman-leave:|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman leave mailman
mailman-owner:|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman
mailman-request:  |/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman
mailman-subscribe:|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe mailman
mailman-unsubscribe:  |/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe mailman

##My mailing list
My_List:  |/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman post My_List
My_List-admin:|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman admin My_List
My_List-bounces:  |/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman bounces My_List
My_List-confirm:  |/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman confirm My_List
My_List-join: |/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman join My_List
My_List-leave:|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman leave My_List
My_List-owner:|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman owner My_List
My_List-request:  |/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman request My_List
My_List-subscribe:|/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe My_List
My_List-unsubscribe:  |/var/www/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe My_List

I have run newaliases.

I've also added the following to my virtusertable (/etc/mail/virtusertable):

# mailman aliases
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   mailman-owner
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   My_List
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   My_List-admin
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   My_List-bounces
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   My_List-confirm
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   My_List-join
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   My_List-leave
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   My_List-owner
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   My_List-request
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   My_List-subscribe
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   My_List-unsubscribe

The catchall is also listed in the virtusertable, below the mailman entries:

@MyDomain.com [EMAIL PROTECTED],com
[EMAIL PROTECTED] capture_at_MyDomain.com

This catchall address is of course also referenced in aliases, where it 
pipes mail to the mailbox.


I also restarted the mail server after making the additions to 
virtusertable.


Does anyone have any ideas what could be going awry? Maybe this is more of a 
sendmail issue than mailman per se, though everything else is working fine. 
Mailman functions fine too, if I remove the catchall! I've read the FAQs and 
Googled this, but as far as I can tell I've taken all the necessary steps; 
it should be working.


TIA,
Dan

[Mailman-Users] Installation problem: 404 Errors

2006-08-03 Thread Dan Zaz 

Dear list,

I'm having major problems installing Mailman on my SuExec enabled server. I 
have followed pertinent instructions regarding installation in this 
environment, but cannot seem to access any mailman pages; all I get is 404 
Not Found errors.


The virtual host is set up ok on the server config. files, to the best of my 
knowledge, as are the permissions. Is there a specific set of steps I could 
take to help me diagnose exactly where this problem is rooted?


I'm a Linux novice, and mailman is my first application installation, so 
this is likely a very basic error on my part. I'm wondering if it might be a 
server issue re. SuExec, rather than with mailman per se.


When I command: suexec -V, I get: -D AP_DOC_ROOT=/var/www.
However, this is not my web doc path, which is /home/dir1/dir2/html
I installed mailman within the suexec path (as mentioned in the set of 
instructions I followed), at /var/www/mailman


Could this be at the root of the issue? And if so, would installing mailman 
within the web doc path work vis-a-vis SuExec?


Any help greatly appreciated..
Dan
