Hi Paul,
I wouldn't worry about the RPMs for Mandrake (which I happen to think IS one of the
best distros). From what I recall, Amanda wasn't using Postfix, so all bets are off.
I believe she also was using Version 8.0, which was identified as "Not for production
servers".

Thanks Greg for the pointer. There is a command bin/config_list

Does anyone know how to setup virtual host in mailman?
Changing the "Host name this list prefers" just solve part of the problem. The

The directories have to be set with g+s, and your OS has to
respect that (i.e. new files created in such directories
need to inherit the group ownership of the parent dir).
I suspect that those of you having problems are either
missing a g+s bit somewhere or have an OS that doesn't

If you could just name the rpm: mailman-using_postfix-2.xxx.rpm that would
solve a lot of mysteries.
IMO, you really don't need to make a sendmail based one, as long as users
know to use postfix with the install. For the typical user postfix is
going to be easier. Plus from the list discus

Hello,
We had a problem yesterday with a mail in a list from Mailman that

what was wrong. I had to stop

I have Mailman 2.0.6 running, and things are going well with it. The

Every configuration is simpler with postfix.

It takes some of my members days before they get a welcome message. Is this
considered normal? Does mailman have some kind setting where it sends out
welcome messages at intervals instead of all at once?

I was wondering why we had discuss the problem, that mailman
doesn't support multiple domains ?
In the general options exists the host_name field.
If I changed the domain this takes effect immediately.
