I have several small mailing lists off my domain that I would like to migrate over to courier-mlm as I am going to all courier mail systems.Now I am reading the mlm docs but I am getting lost at step 2. dot-courier files.I have a mysql database that handles my real users. There are 3 of them. And they have home directories.Now if I want to support a list called [email protected] I get that I would do:couriermlm create /var/lists/studygroup [email protected]Now, for step 2, and I actually creating a user called studygroup in mysql and aiming their home directory at /var/lists/studygroup ??
Not quite. One account is no different than the other. If you create an account called 'studygroup', you will then need to create the new account's home directory, its $HOME, and have it owned by a matching numerical uid/gid that you have set for the account in the database. Just like for any other account, and at this point it is no different than any other account. You may even create a $HOME/Maildir in the account's home directory, if you feel like it.
Then, you would proceed to run couriermlm to create a mailing list directory. The new account's $HOME/mlm would be as good choice as any, as long as, of course its numerical uid/gid is the same as the account's home directory, and the uid/gid that's set for this account in your account database. After all, that account has to be able to write to its own mailing list directory.
At this point, the new account's $HOME/.courier, $HOME/.courier-default, and any $HOME/.courier file works exactly like any other account's $HOME/.courier file. You can proceed accordingly.
