Hello Mailman developers, I am trying to get started developing Mailman but I am having difficulty setting up a local development/test environment on my machine (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS). I used black-perl's lovely development bootstrap to set up my virtual environments and initially install Mailman and postorious, but I can't seem to get a mailing list to actually work!
I followed the excellent documentation at http://mailman.readthedocs.org/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/MTA.html to configure postfix and Mailman to talk to each other. I created a mailing list called "testlist" through the postorious interface. I subscribed myself and a testuser to the list, but sending mail via: echo "test body text" | mail -s "test subject" testl...@augusta.net simply results in a bounced email message in /var/mail/thomas (my user on my machine). augusta.net is the domain I specified during postfix configuration. Sending mail like above to "testu...@augusta.net" works perfectly (mail appears in /var/mail/testuser). The only reason I made it is because Mailman won't let you make a list @localhost. Does anyone have any advice for setting up a local-only mailing list environment so I can test behavior as I poke around in the code? Ideally I want to be able to just send emails via the command line to the local Mailman instance and have Mailman send emails out to local users that are subscribed to its lists. I am stumped as to how to get this going, and I feel like I must be fundamentally misunderstanding how things are supposed to be done. Thanks for any guidance you can give me. -Thomas _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
