RE: [Mailman-Users] New Mailman user on RedHat 9.0
Here is a repost of my So you want to use the Default Mailman install that comes with RH9... post: Note: my server's name is list.anncons.org so I use that for the host definitions below. You should use your hosts name. Put the following in your /var/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py file: MAILMAN_USER = 'mailman' MAILMAN_GROUP = 'mailman' Also you will need to put in your hosts real domain name: #DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'porky.devel.redhat.com' #DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'porky.devel.redhat.com' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'list.anncons.org' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'list.anncons.org' DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/' Lord knows what the Mailman packager for RedHat was smoking the day he did this RPM... To set Mailmanctl to start on reboot, use the chkconfig utility (or you could use the Services gui that comes in the System Settings/Server Settings menu). chkconfig --list mailman mailman 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off chkconfig --level 345 mailman on # this will turn the mailman daemon on automatically when the server is booted.
