You mean... there are *other* MTAs?? *grin, duck & run*

(Seriously, though--thanks for the catch.. :) I guess I just ASS-U-ME
everyone loves Postfix as much as I do ;-) )

ObReflection: It's hard to believe I've been running this software for
going on 5 years now. And, as easy as it was to install, it's been
completely painless to upgrade. The lovely thing about that is: It
encourages people to run the latest release, thus benefiting from the
security patches and new features. Kudos to the team! :)

(And, yes, the first sentence is completely tongue-in-cheek. I know
there are other MTAs, and that people use them! :P~ )

Best,
--Glenn

Only if MTA='Postfix'

Or read the Postfix integration section of the installation manual at

Unless your MTA is Postfix in which case list creation handles this
'automagically' or Exim or another MTA which can be set up to
interface with Mailman without aliases, then yes, you do.

Also see

for links to information about using the Postfix method with Sendmail.

Hey Lawrence!

If you take a look in $PREFIX/mailman/data/aliases, you'll see that
Mailman's nice enough to do it for you :-)

Just make sure you include $PREFIX/mailman/data/aliases in your main
/etc/aliases file. (Refer to your MTA's documenation for how to do this.)

However, if you're using Postfix, you have two options that I know of:

At the end of /etc/aliases:
:include: $PREFIX/mailman/data/aliases

...or go here: http://www.gurulabs.com/goodies/downloads.php and grab a
copy of postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py and read the instructions within. :)

Best!

[Mailman-Users] additional accounts

[Lawrence Bowie]

If create a mailing list called test-list, then do I have to create aliases
like this

mailman:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"
mailman-admin:"|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin mailman"
mailman-bounces:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces mailman"
mailman-confirm:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm mailman"
mailman-join: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join mailman"
mailman-leave:"|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave mailman"
mailman-owner:"|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman"
mailman-request:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman"
mailman-subscribe:"|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe mailman"
mailman-unsubscribe:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe 
mailman"



for test-list ...

test-list:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post test-list"
test-list-admin:"|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin test-list"
test-list-bounces:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces 
test-list"
test-list-confirm:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm 
test-list"
test-list-join: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join test-list"
test-list-leave:"|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave test-list"
test-list-owner:"|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner test-list"
test-list-request:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request 
test-list"
test-list-subscribe:"|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe 
test-list"
test-list-unsubscribe:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe 
test-list"
