I posted recently about my troubles with getting sendmail 8.12.1 and Mailman 2.0.6 to work happily, and, surprisingly, I have managed to make some progress.
Right now, the two are working happily together, BUT, mail to any of the lists keeps looping for ever and ever. I watched the qfile directory and watched as the number of files in the directory grew exponentially. I had to remove the files by hand for it to stop.. Initially I thought it might be a permission problem within the qfiles directory, but that just wasn't the case.. it turns out that Mailman's "sendmail" delivery method (defined within Defaults.py) no longer works under Sendmail 8.12.x. Because of changes with Sendmail 8.12.x, it now behaves almost exactly as if I defined "SMTPDirect". So, I figured I would pose the question: How do I get Mailman to work with SMTPDirect and Sendmail? I'm not sure if it is a config problem within sendmail (not relaying the email sent from localhost or something) or a problem with Mailman. I suspect the latter because other apps, like Request Tracker (which uses the same delivery method as Mailman's "sendmail") seem to work properly... Just an FYI, but Sendmail + MailMan (using "sendmail" delivery mode) does work for Sendmail 8.11.6. Sendmail + Mailman (using either delivery mode) does NOT work for Sendmail 8.12.1. I backed down to 8.11.6 for now, but I would love to get the two problems (SMTPDirect and Sendmail 8.12.x) cleared up.. Any help/direction would be much appreciated.
