Hello all,
I'm in the process of transitioning a mail server from an old sparc box
running qmail and mailman to a linux box running courier-mta (0.42.2)
and mailman.
All of the user accounts were moved to the courier machine a while ago.
As a remnant of the previous mail system, mail comes into the qmail
system where it's forwarded to the courier system via .qmail-username
aliases. The aliases send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The
courier system is configured to deliver courier.pub.domain.com and
courier.domain.com locally. It's also configured to be a backup MX for
domain.com. All of this, while kind of convoluted, works just fine (but
we're trying to simplify it).
The first stage of the transition is moving the mailing lists over to
the new machine. Currently, mailing list messages come into the qmail
machine and through aliases are piped to mailman programs. As the first
part of the transition, I'd like to have the messages come into the
qmail machine and be sent to the courier machine via aliases (just like
the users), where the courier machine then pipes the messages to the
mailman programs.
To test this, I set up an alias on the qmail machine sending mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] On the courier system, I
aliased foo to myself. I then sent email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and shortly
received it in my mailbox.
Since mailman depends on the messages being piped to the mailman
executable via aliases, I changed the destination of my courier system
alias from "foo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" to "foo: | /bin/mail -s test
[EMAIL PROTECTED]" figuring this would have the same effect. This time,
when I sent the test message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I get the following from
the mail daemon on the courier system...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNDELIVERABLE MAIL
Your message to the following recipients cannot be delivered:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
<<< No such domain.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The maillog on the courier box has this entry:
Jul 18 15:46:06 courier
courieresmtp:id=000404EB.3F184E7E.0000080C,from=<[EMAIL
PROTECTED]>,addr=<".xalias/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"@domain.com>: No such domain.
Doing a "sbin/makealiases -dump | grep foo" shows...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: ".xalias/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"@domain.com
Cat-ing etc/aliasdir/.courier-:xalias/[EMAIL PROTECTED] yields:
| /bin/mail -s test [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>From the look of the maillog error message, it would seem that the
initial alias transformation to ".xalias/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"@domain.com"
worked, but something seems to be missing between that transformation
and looking into etc/aliasdir/.courier-:xalias/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I tried changing the payload of the alias to dump the message into a
file, but since it looks like courier isn't even looking at that file
when it attempts delivery, this doesn't change anything.
Can someone "scp /dev/clue pete:"?
Thanks,
pete
