Re: [Blind-sysadmins] mailman administrator

Hi,

You will need a line like this in mm_cfg.py:

add_virtualhost('lists.hodgsonfamily.org', 'lists.hodgsonfamily.org')

Look at the punctuation here, very important.

You will also need to do this with postfix_style_virtual_domains as you have done.

I use Exim here with a completely different configuration, but yes adding the lists.domain2.com to mydestination should be ok.

Andrew.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you all for your response. I thought to do this privately as I didn't think it would be of general list interest I'm apparently wrong. Here's my situation.

I've got a Ubuntu Linux machine that i've got mailman running on. It's version 2.1.12 installed from Ubuntu packages. It's also got Apache for the mailman web interface and Postfix as the MTA. Those are versions 2.2.12 for apache and postfix 2.6.5. It's using postfix's virtual mailbox domains for the mail delivery but not for mailman it's using mailman's alias facility for that.

I've got a domain let's call it domain1.com that does mail, that's where the postfix virtual mailbox stuff goes this does not effect mailman. Now i've got a subdomain called lists.domain1.com which is where mailman is. Here's the relevant lines of my config files:

postfix/main.cf: append_dot_mydomain = no myhostname = mail.domain1.com alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = $mydomain mydestination = localhost, lists.$mydomain recipient_delimiter = + # Mailman settings owner_request_special = no mailman_destination_recipient_limit = 1

apache2/mailman.conf: # # httpd configuration settings for use with mailman. #

# create a virtual host for lists.domain1.com <VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80> ServerAdmin listadmin@domain1.com ServerName lists.domain1.com DocumentRoot /var/lib/mailman/templates/en ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/lists-error.log CustomLog /var/log/apache2/lists-access.log combined

I hope that makes sense. Now I'm wanting to add a second domain to mailman only called lists.domain2.com. I've got an apache virtual host set up for it here it is:

apache2/domain2.conf: # httpd configuration settings for use with mailman. for

For mailman when I added lists.domain2.com to add_virtualhost I got an error that it required two arguments 3 were given, due to the fact that i had url_host and email_host, since both of those values were the same both are lists.domain1.com I took out one, and added in lists.domain2.com which resolved the syntax error. Am I good so far? My second question is I'm wanting to make a mailman list for lists.domain2.com then other lists only for that domain, using the cli how would I pull this off? I've also added the lists.domain2.com to postfix's mydestination, when I get some lists I'll try it out and let you know. Thanks. Dave. On 12/13/10, Andrew Hodgson wrote: lists.domain2.com

RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ http://lists.domain2.com/mailman/listinfo </VirtualHost> #DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/'

Now I need to get all this working with mailman and postfix. For mailman i've tried adding lists.domain2.com to the mm_cfg.py file lines but got errors when atempting to restart it. The specific lines I tried adding to were the add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) line adding in the lists.domain2.com errored out. I did add lists.domain2.com to this line:

POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = 'lists.domain1.com, lists.domain2.com'

I'm thinking I have to add lists.domain2.com to postfix's mydestination line.

I'm probably overcomplicating this. Basically I want to have a mailman list for both lists.domain1.com and lists.domain2.com as well as separate call them list1.domain1.com and list1.domain2.com.

Any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

Hi,

I can definitely do this, this system uses Mailman 2.1.14 built from source with around 4 virtual domains handling a lot of list traffic.

Hello, Do we have any mailman administrators onlist? If so, please contact me privately. I've got a mailman issue and am needing to resolve in a very quick manner. It involves adding a second domain to mailman although sounding easy i've not been able to get this going. I can provide additional details. Some urgency! Thanks. Dave.
