Did you start Mailman? If Mailman is started, what port is in your mailman.cfg file? (Search for "lmtp" (without the quotes) in that file, it will say what host and port Mailman is listening on.) Do not assume you know where that file is (normally /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg). If you are starting Mailman via systemd, check the service file for a "-C conffile" option in the start command. If you are using the 'mailman' utility, cd to the directory where you normally start Mailman, and use "mailman info" to find out where the running Mailman thinks the configuration file is. > > Too many things can go wrong.

OK, let us know! You mentioned that you wanted Dovecot to do authentication. I don't know if Mailman can do authentication itself. I think the Python module can, but I don't know how to set it up. I personally don't think it's necessary on a dedicated host where Mailman and the MTA can communicate over the loopback address, but if you do, let me know and I'll see what we can do. -- GNU Mailman consultant (installation, migration, customization) Sirius Open Source https://www.siriusopensource.com/ Software systems consulting in Europe, North America, and Japan _______________________________________________ Mailman-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.mailman3.org/ Archived at: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/MMZI3XUL5XKIGVVXE66GHB6MQEBYR6OP/ This message sent to [email protected]
