Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me sort out the aliases setup for Mailman
2.1.4, to complete a move from v2.0.13 on a Solaris 8 box running NIS and
Exim v4. I'm doing a fresh install rather than an upgrade.
When I installed v2.0.13 I placed aliases as follows in my NIS aliases file:
mailman: support mailman-owner: mailman mailman.account: mailman mailman-request: mailman mailman-admin: mailman
And that's all.
I've done a test install of 2.1.4 on another Solaris box and when I run
the newlist script I'm asked to add entries to /etc/aliases, like these below:
mailman: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"
mailman-admin: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin mailman"
mailman-bounces: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces mailman"
mailman-confirm: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman confirm mailman"
mailman-join: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman join mailman"
mailman-leave: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman leave mailman"
mailman-owner: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman"
mailman-request: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman"
mailman-subscribe: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe mailman"
mailman-unsubscribe: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe mailman"
I have 45 mailing lists so it looks like I'll have to add the above 10 lines for each list! My questions are:
1) can these 10 lines be added for each mailing list created to the NIS aliases file (or can it only be /etc/aliases)?
2) is there an equivalent for v2.1.4 aliases akin to the simplicity of the
5 lines added to the NIS aliases file for v2.0.13?
Thanks for any ideas/insights/suggestions.
Yes; check out the 3rd and 4th paragraphs under the heading "UPGRADING FROM 2.0.x to 2.1" in the file called UPGRADING in your Mailman 2.1.4 build directory.
Basically, it tells you there is a script called $prefix/bin/genaliases which will generate the revised aliases for your existing lists. When you subsequently create new lists with $prefix/bin/newlist you will get the revised 2.1.x aliases output to you rather than the old 2.0.x style aliases.
