This is the page I should have found

 http://wiki.list.org/x/8YA9

I've no idea why it did not feature in search results when chasing down
the problem.

The installation manual urges you to read Defaults.py

[Mailman-Users] Virtual Hosting Query

[Drew Ferguson]

Hi

I am trying to get virtual hosting working in Mailman 2.1.14 with Postfix

Documentation at http://list.org/mailman-install/postfix-virtual.html
specifies setting POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS to list the virtual domains
required in mm_cfg.py

However, doing this does not seem to have the desired effect with list
creation reporting

  Error: Unknown virtual host on create list

Google points to an old mail
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-February/034943.html
which says to put a line like 
  add_virtualhost('web.domain.com','smtp.domain.com')
in mm_cfg.py

and doing so allows the creation of the list

Have I missed something fundamental or should this be in the
documentation?

Ta

[Mailman-Users] Virtual hosting + virtual domain mailman

[list]

Hi list,
I'm sure this is a redundant question but i search a quiet good method
to allow my users to get the same maillist name for different domains.
I use Postfix with virtual alias and mailbox suport on a mysql server.
Like: test@test.com is different of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
On a google/archive search i've read somes solutions :
1/ run more than one mailman, but it is not possible for me.
2/ Use a test-test.com style and canonical postfix method, but the sent
mail is not clearly [EMAIL PROTECTED]
3/ Use a patch for mailman
(http://al.blog.free.fr/mailman/mailman-vh-2.1.5.patch or
http://mithrandr.moria.org/blog/139.html). But they don't seem work very
well when i tryed them.

All this solutions don't work for me ...
Do you have a solution? a working patch?
Someone had succeed to do what i want whith the same implementation
(Postfix...)?

thanks.

Have you run fix_url since you last set up the VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary
in mm_cfg.py?

Run bin/fix_url.py for instructions.

[Mailman-Users] virtual hosting question

[Rick Pasotto]

I run debian linux with exim3 and mailman 2.1.5. My machine has a
primary name of 'niof.net' and I also have several virtual hosts with
their own mailing lists on the same machine.

The mm_cfg.py file has 'VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()' and all the appropriate
add_virtualhost() lines.

Mail to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' works. 'virtual-host.com' is set as the
'host name this list prefers'. The link to
 works but the links at
the bottom of that page (to the admin interface, other lists) use
niof.net as the host.

I can access the admindb pages with either host name.

How can I get *all* the pages to refer to the virtual host *only*?

[Mailman-Users] Virtual Hosting puzzle

[Nils Vogels]

Hi all,

I've been looking through the archive and read the two FAQ's (one on list.org,
the other one on python.org amd I have a question:

I'm trying to setup a virtual hosting mailman site, but im running into the
following issue:

1) VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW is on, and im running mailman from the ports tree,
version 2.0.10
2) The FAQ says i need to create a unique listname on the 'default' host,
which I do using the newlist command. Lets say the name is
'foobar-vhostdotcom'. Next, I change the weburl and mail domain to
vhostdotcom. This will make the list show up in the listinfo of the mailman
interface on vhostdotcom. Yay!
3) When I try to change the name to 'foobar' (since I no longer need the
vhostdotcom in its name) the interface denies me. This means the list is still
only accessible using 'http://vhostdotcom/mailman/listinfo/foobar-vhostdotcom
.. which seems a bit redundant ;)
4) Also, when I am at the vhostdotcom listinfo page, and click to the 'list
admin overview' page, I will see all lists, both on vhostdotcom and the
default host. Why ? I really dont need all people on vhostdotcom to know the
existance of all lists ;-)

Could someone please give me a hint ? I'm sure I did something wrong, being
new to mailman and all ;)

Gr,

That rather depends on what you want to do with virtual domains.

Which means it does not work. Can you imagine
postfix/qmail/sendmail/whatever saying, "we support virtual addresses,
as long as the names are different"?

See the thread ""True" virtual domains".

[Mailman-Users] Virtual Hosting Faq ??

[Francesca C Smith]

Hiya,

Just wondering if there is a FAQ out there somewhere that describes basic
Virtual Host set-up ???

Im thinking you have to install the software for each domain in its own
directory ??

Just some ideas on how this is done would be appreciated .. (Not stuff like
.configure settings .. That I can handle ) Just the basic steps ..

 I take a different approach:

 - I create  just the way I want it named  (for example: test)

 - Sendmail's virtusertable does the following translation:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] test-lists.domain.net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   test-admin-lists.domain.net
[EMAIL PROTECTED] test-request-lists.domain.net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   test-admin-lists.domain.net

 - The Alias file takes care of the rest (lines wrapped):
## [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
## created: 13-Dec-2000 root
test-lists.domain.net: \
 "|/home/mailman/lists.domain.net/mail/wrapper post test"
test-admin-lists.domain.net:   \
 "|/home/mailman/lists.domain.net/mail/wrapper mailowner test"
test-request-lists.domain.net: \
 "|/home/mailman/lists.domain.net/mail/wrapper mailcmd test"


 This allows me to have multiple 'test' lists across multiple domains, on the
same machine, all behaving as separate lists.  (This also means I have multiple
MM installations.)

[Mailman-Users] virtual hosting / list name

[Will Yardley]

so i have a question, which it seems other people may have
experienced...  is there any way to change the email addresses that
mailman sends out to list admins / subscribers?

here's an example:
i have a domain will.invalid and a mailing list named list.

we use a virtual hosting setup, so we actually make the "list-name":
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

even though aliases point:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to the actual list post.

is there any way to make mailman report the shorter name (without
breaking the list)?

[Mailman-Users] Virtual Hosting Question

[Kirez Korgan]

I am having a problem with virtual hosting with mailman and sendmail.

All outgoing messages from the mailman software have both an envelope-from
and a header-from, from the wrong domain!

For example, if I send a subscribe request to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the
response comes from [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The text of the message is correct -- telling me to email my confirmation to
good.com, but it also says I can just hit reply --
which would, naturally, go to bad.com.

I would like to do whatever is necessary to sendmail.cf so that subscribers
to lists at good.com need never know about bad.com.

But also, users of bad.com need to continue to have their outgoing mail say
the right thing, without disturbance.

I have a virtusertable, and that works just fine for incoming.  I read
somewhere that I could set up a genericstable, which I think I did, for
outgoing mail, but that doesn't seem to help.

Is there a simple webpage where I could obtain some useful help with this?

Thanks!
Kirez

I use sendmail too.  Mine is on a default, unchanged Redhat 7.1 system. 
 Maybe
you need to use linuxconf to set these things up.  Look at the menu I 
get when
I run linuxconf's mailconf module; /sbin/mailconf

  Sendmail configurator
  This package allows you to configure
  Sendmail, the mail delivery system

  Basic
   Configure  basic information
  special (domain) routing
  complex (user) routing
  masquerading rules
  mail to fax gateway
  virtual email domain
   Manage the mail queue
   Settinguser aliases
  virtual domain user aliases
  Virtual POP accounts (mail only)
   Generate   /etc/sendmail.cf
Anti-spam filters
   SettingRejected senders
  'Relay for' by IP
  'Relay for' by name
  Relay to hosts


I used "Virual email domain" to add my virtual domain.  Then you can use
"virtual domain user aliases" to add the specific mailman aliases or you
can add them by hand in the proper /etc/vmail/aliases.DOMAIN file.

Hope this helps.

Mess with the HTML so that the option isn't on the web page.  If the admins
are determined enough to generate the needed HTTP command anyhow, you'll
also have to mess with the scripting.

Just install it like you normally would, into different directories, each
one representing a domain.

That wouldn't be a problem here too, i'm using qmail and it's easy to point
a specific user for each domain.

What i'm interested is in the right steps to use multiple installations of
mailmain for each domain.
If u can give me a "mini-guide", it would save me some time figuring it out
and i'd appreciate that a lot.

TIA,

Rodrigo

As far as I know, there's no way to do this, however, in my case, with
several domains running off of one server (multiple mailman installations), it
does the admin no good to change the domain.  If they do, mail will no longer
be delivered/send from their list because sendmail will not deliver/send mail
from any of the other domains configured.

There isn't, but there should be.

And I'll note that I recently had a fairly nasty fight with one of my 
admins (to the point his list was put on death row until he agreed to 
cooperate) where one of his final arguments was "if you don't want me to 
change it, why does the software let me?"

If the lists don't have conflicting names then you can just set the
"preferred domain" for each list to be the userdomain.  As an example
http://phred.org/mailman/listinfo,
http://bikelist.org/mailman/listinfo, and
http://cascade.bikelist.org/mailman/listinfo all point to lists on my
servers, but act as if they are unique domains.  You can send a
message to any of the lists using any of the domains (ie, if there is
a list [EMAIL PROTECTED] you could get to it by sending email
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]), but I don't advertise that fact and users generally
don't figure it out.

If you have conflicting list names then things get more complicated
and you need to setup a mailman install per domain.  There is a lot of
information on this in the archives.

RE: [Mailman-Users] virtual hosting tactic

[Rodrigo Borges Pereira]

that sounds good for me.. it shouldn't be a big effort to keep list names
not colliding between domains.

however, how do you avoid the list administrator from changing the list
preferred domain in the web interface?

I don't know that you can.  I trust my list administrators to leave
that alone, but the only list adminsitrators besides myself are
friends.

This does bring up a question that another admin asked me.  Is there a
way that the site administrator can remove permission from list
administrators from changing some of the fields?  For instance I would
like to have a site policy that requires that Reply-To is never set to
the list.

[Mailman-Users] virtual hosting tactic

[Rodrigo Borges Pereira]

Hi!

I'm running a server that hosts a few domains. I already have mailman
running for lists.mydomain.com, and it is working great.

However, now i want to give users that host domains the ability to use
lists.userdomain.com too, and each user has it's own mailman setup under his
domain.

What's the best tactic for this?

I'm using Qmail and latest Mailman.

TIA
Rodrigo

[Mailman-Users] Virtual Hosting with Mailman

[Ross Vandegrift]

Hello all,

I poked around the mailman website, and saw that Mailman supports virtual 
hosting.  Mad cool stuff.  So I set up
virtual hosting sendmail, but I can't find any documentation for virtual hosting with 
Mailman.  Where can I find some literature?
