Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Use MTA on external machine via SMTP Initial Comment: I know this is possible. However, do you feel it would be beneficial to allow for MTA's on external machines to handle incoming and outgoing emails to any of the hosted lists? The administrator would create an address for the list on the MTA machine. Mailman would check this address for new messages every so often, and forward them on to the rest of the list using the currently opened connection. During the process Mailman would need to complete all of its normal everyday duties just as it would do using an MTA on the host machine. Bradley M.

For outgoing mail it's easy; just change the SMTPHOST and SMTPPORT in your mm_cfg.py file. For incoming mail you probably want to run a stripped down smtpd that only accepts incoming connections from your public server. The public server must know about all the Mailman lists, and forward messages as appropriate to the local incoming-only smtpd. Whether this is beneficial or not depends on your system and network configuration! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350103&aid=455064&group_id=103 _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
