I am also using the SmartPost. I just installed a XMail with Mailman on a new server and it is quite tricky. 1. Is XMail installed and running by itself? Were you able to compile and install Mailman and create a list sucessfully? 2. Several important (to us) Mailman options are compiled in according to your ./configure command so make sure you have that right. If you're not sure run "make distclean" and re-build Mailman with the needed settings. 3. Check the paths in the Python scripts and the tab file to make sure they are correct for your system. I don't use mysql with XMail so I can't help you there.

From an admin standpoint, I've never had any problems or complaints concerning MIME, but my lists are very low volume non-technical users so I don't really see much besides text anyway.

I fixed this, a problem with the log timestamp, and added logging for a successful script execution so that this log is consistant with the other mailman logs.

I simply needed to take the mixed case list name provided by @@RCPT and convert it to lower case before evaluating it. I actually had already found the right command and inserted it in the correct place. I just screwed up the usage using "name = lower(name)" instead of "name = name.lower()". It's fixed now and if anyone is interested the updated script is here: http://www.ubaight.com/xmail/mailman > > > 2.

I'd like to make some other changes in the logging procedure so I'll play around with this tonight when I have more time.

Thanks! After working past some quirks in the OS, I finally got this working. I've been a Windows admin/programmer for many years, but I'm a Linux newbie; I would never have figured out how to make this work without your assistance. :) Now that I'm sure I can use this stuff, I'd love a copy of that script to create the cmdalias files - I have a lot of configuration work ahead of me.

I have gotten it to work. There are a few steps involved in making this work. First, you should create a cmdalias in the domain for each of the mailboxes that mailman expects. An example with domain = lists.domain.com and list name=list, you'd create the following cmdalias files in /var/MailRoot/cmdaliases: list-admin.tablist-confirm.tab list-leave.tab list-request.tab list.tab list-bounces.tab list-join.tab list-owner.tab list-subscribe.tab list-unsubscribe.tab Each file has the following line in it: "external"[tab]"0"[tab]"0"[tab]"/var/MailRoot/bin/mailman.sh"[tab]"@@RCPT"[tab]"@@TMPFILE" Then you put the following file, mailman.sh, in your /var/MailRoot/bin folder. You'll also need the econv package available on the xmailserver.org web page, under the tools section: # START mailman.sh ### #! /bin/bash # # This script takes an incoming list for a mailing list and parses the email address # to determine the correct list for sending to Mailman's wrapper program MAIL_ROOT=/var/MailRoot # Arguments list_email=$1 messagefile=$2 # First, isolate the list address (i.e. list-owner, list-subscribe, etc.) list_address=`echo "$list_email" | sed 's/@.*//g'` # Next, isolate the list name list_name=`echo "$list_address" | sed 's/-.*//g'` # Isolate the list user (i.e. owner, admin, subscribe, etc.) list_user=`echo "$list_address" | sed 's/.*-//g'` # If the list user is the same as the list name, this means this is the address for the list # itself, so the list user should be set to post if [ $list_name == $list_user ] ; then list_user=post fi # Convert the Xmail mail file into an email file tmpfile=/home/xmail/$RANDOM.conv econv --unix --input $messagefile --output $tmpfile # Pipe the email file to the Mailman wrapper for the correct list and user cat $tmpfile | /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman $list_user $list_name >& /home/xmail/error.log rm $tmpfile logfile=$MAIL_ROOT/logs/mailinglists.log logentry=`date` logentry="$logentry : $list_email" echo $logentry >> $logfile ## END mailman.sh ### Granted, this file is not the most efficient way to do this. Also, there is a major flaw with the script, as it currently does not allow list names with a dash in them (this is actually a very common practice). If someone has something better to offer, please do (and post it to the list)! I've also create a semi-automated script that creates a list in mailman and also creates each of the necessary cmdalias files. Contact me off list to get this code, as it's more involved. Good luck!
