Dear list-members, I searched the archives and the whole web without any success. So, you'll understand that any help on the following topic will be appreciated: Trying to install Mailman-2.0.5 failed. Honestly, it's my 6th try, and I think it's time to ask some people being more successful. Any try produced these errors: The postings are not delivered to the list members. Additionally, a confirmation request from any subscriber never arrives at the subscriber's mail account. This is how I tried to install mailman on a Cobalt RaQ3 with sendmail 8.9.3: - unpacking, creating mailman:mailman, creating /home/mailman right as shown in the installation guide at lists.org - my options to do ./configure were: --prefix=/home/mailman --with-username=mailman --with-mail-gid=mail --with-cgi-gid=httpd - adding a symbolic link to /etc/smrsh: 12492 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 May 13 14:48 wrapper -> /home/mailman/mail/wrapper - mm_cfg.py: from Defaults import * # Site-specific settings DEFAULT_HOST_NAME = 'raq.granus.net' # DEFAULT_URL must end in a slash! DEFAULT_URL = 'http://www.granus.net/mailman/' PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = '/pipermail' PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL = '/mailman/private' HOME_PAGE = 'index.html' MAILMAN_OWNER = 'mailman-owner@%s' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME SMTPPORT = 25 - doing the last steps to create a site pass, creating a new list ('abc'), copying and editing the /etc/aliases like this (and running newaliases successfully): # Mailman 2.0.5 settings [13.05.01] mailman: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-owner: mailman ## abc mailing list ## created: 13-May-2001 root abc: "|/etc/smrsh/wrapper post abc" abc-admin: "|/etc/smrsh/wrapper mailowner abc" abc-request: "|/etc/smrsh/wrapper mailcmd abc" abc-owner: abc-admin ---- The GUI runs pretty fine, but trying to subscribe gives no error message but an entry like this in /var/log/maillog: May 13 15:09:50 raq sendmail[32214]: PAA32214: from=<NONE>, size=0, class=0, pri=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1] The subscription message never arrives... Trying to post to the test list returns 'no such user here'. Does anybody have a clue what I was too blind to see, didn't set properly? <sigh> Thanks a lot in advance, regards, Hendrik. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
