Hello! At work I have the following real-world postfix setup:
mydomain = redoaksw.com
mydestination = local.redoaksw.com # note that this domain doesn't exist
virtual_mailbox_domains = redoaksw.com
I installed mailman and created the list '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. So far
so good, however the "virtual-mailman" alias map mailman generates
does not work.
The problem is as follows :
1) the map contains entries such as
[EMAIL PROTECTED] test1
2) postfix converts "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to "test1" as it should,
and then qualifies the address with $mydomain,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(note: this does not actually create a loop)
3) with the address [EMAIL PROTECTED], postfix hands the message
to virtual(8) which looks in the virtual_mailbox_maps and
correctly reports no such user
The solution is simple -- change the map to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
In this scenario, after the virtual_alias_map rewriting, postfix will
hand the message to local(8) which will find the mailman command in
$alias_maps.
To this end I created the attached patch to mailman. It WorksForMe,
but is not yet complete enough to include in the next release. I need
some assistance in polishing it for inclusion. The core of the patch
is simply to optionally fully-qualify the map value in _addvirtual()
in Mailman/MTA/Postfix.py.
The parts I need help with are :
+ What are good names for the parameters (in mm_cfg.py and the
mail list object)? I'm not convinced you want to be stuck
with the names in my patch forever :-).
+ How do you handle additional parameters on maillist objects? I
noted that __getattr__ fails when the web interface tries to
load the current value from a list created before the
parameter was added.
+ Should the default value for 'local_domain' (as it is currently
called in my patch) be '' or None? I would generally choose
None, but that seems to not play well with the web interface
(it shows "None" instead of nothing).
+ Do I need to do anything with any translation files with regards
to the new list parameter?
