Hello, I have mailman 2.1.18 and courier 0.73 as packaged by Debian on a Debian Jessie GNU/Linux server.
They correctly run a few mailing lists, but now I've tried adding a new one and it does not work, with mailman reporting the "Group mismatch error" to the Courier MTA mail server, with "daemon" being the group mailman expects to run with, and "mailboxes" being the group it is actually being run with. Courier is configured with userdb database of virtual users. Maildirs are stored under /home/mail/domain/user/... in the server filesystem and the files are owned by the "mailboxes" user and group. The mailboxes user has UID=5000 and the mailboxes group has GID=5000. Those IDs are specified into the userdb file for each virtual user. Between the working lists (e.g. arduino@lists...) and the new one (dlinguistico2002@lists...) there is actually a small difference in how the lists aliases are handled by Courier. In the former case I have no aliases, but virtual users in userdb for each alias that forwards messages to mailman, e.g. arduino@lists... has a single .courier file that forwards messages to |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post arduino then arduino-bounces@lists... has a single .courier file that forwards messages to |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces arduino and so on. In other words they all are real mailboxes, not aliases, that forward messages using the appropriate mailman command. In the latter case (dlinguistico2002@lists...) instead I have one single account (dlingustico2002@lists...) with additional .courier-whatever files configured to forward messages to the corresponding mailman commands, e.g. I have the .courier-bounces file that contains |/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces dlinguistico2002 Given mailman is not complaining for the arduino@lists... mailing list, I assume either courier is running it in the "daemon" group for that list, or mailman is working even if executed in the mailboxes group. Whichever, I'd like the same to happen for the dlinguistico@lists... list without having to create all the accounts like I did for the other lists. Is it possible? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
