If you can set aside a sub-domain for your mailing lists, eg lists.example.com, then it's worth using the sendmail mm-handler script with postfix. Download the script from http://mailman.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/mailman/trunk/mailman/contrib/mm-handler?revision=5100 Install it in /usr/local/bin, make sure it's executable by mailman. Edit the config at the top of the file. Edit postfix/main.cf as follows: relay_domains = lists.example.com # Needed for interface to mailman: transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport mailman_destination_recipient_limit = 1 Add the following to /etc/postfix/virtual: ## ## Redirect mail to the standard Mailman admin addresses to the ## master admin address. (Midway.uchicago.edu is our site's central ## mail-routing server, and it carries aliases for maintenance groups. ## Not a good plan to entrust Mailman maintenance mail to Mailman.) ## [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ## ## These addresses are required or recommended either by convention ## or by RFC 2142, "Mailbox Names for Common Services, Roles and ## Functions". Honor them. ## [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Make sure that mailman-owner is aliased to an admin account. Create the file /etc/postfix/transport as follows: lists.example.com mailman:example.com Add the following to postfix/master.cf: mailman unix - n n - - pipe flags=FRu user=mailman:mailman argv=/usr/local/bin/mm-handler ${nexthop} ${user} -r $sender Run postmap /etc/postfix/transport, postmap /etc/postfix/virtual and restart postfix. Edit the mailman config file mm_cfg.py to include: MTA = None I know it's a bit more complicated initially, but with this set up this is it! :-) There are other way of achieving this but none, in my opinion, are as good as mm-handler. See the link [1] to decide whether mm-handler is suitable for your site. As you use postfix, you might also want to install the Postfix XVERP patch - see [2] for the patch and [3] for details of config options. (You'll also need to add smtpd_authorized_verp_clients = 127.0.0.1 to /etc/postfix/main.cf) Take care, Ben [1] http://mailman.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mailman/trunk/mailman/contrib/README.mm-handler?view=markup [2] https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=869638&group_id=103&atid=300103 [3] https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=731100&group_id=103 ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
