Public bug reported: Ubuntu 10.04.4 Version: 1:2.1.13-1ubuntu0.2
The postfix-to-mailman.py script does not recognize list names like "mylist-admin" or "mylist-request". Currently it strips off the control extension (e.g. "-admin", "-owner", etc.) from mlist before checking if it actually exists. This patch is very simple: - Before checking for control extension, check if list_exists(mlist) - Import list_exists from Mailman.Utils a little earlier. Before applying this patch, trying to post to "mylist-admin" would result in bounce message: "user unknown" ** Affects: mailman (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "Check if mlist exists before stripping control extension" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290413/+attachment/4016864/+files/postfix-to-mailman.py.check_for_list_exist_before_control_ext.patch ** Description changed: The postfix-to-mailman.py script does not recognize list names like "mylist-admin" or "mylist-request".
