Good evening, all, or good morning to those in distant time zones! I've been using Mailman for just shy of a week, with generally good results, but have run into a very strange problem as my configuration complexity has grown. I've been to the FAQ, the online docs, and numerous Google searches of the list archives, to no avail. I'm sure someone has seen this before, and I'm hoping you can help.
The configuration is this: I am on a Linux server where I have root privileges but do not own the server. Because of this, I try to keep as many of my configurations as possible confined to my regular login, so as not to disrupt the rest of the functions of this machine. I have Mailman 2.1b2 (beta) installed in ~/mailman. By the way, I tried the stable version first and encountered this same (exactly!) problem, and went to the beta in hopes that it would be fixed -- so I don't think it's a beta bug. I own two domains and want to share one instance of Mailman between them. Call the domains d1.com and d2.net. Neither of these domains is the official domain in which the server lives. I read the docs on how to do this, got Mailman set up, and everything is working perfectly with the exception of the one issue. All through-the-web interfaces are working flawlessly, including the archives. Now, to avoid an intrusive bunch of changes to /etc/mail/virtusertable and /etc/aliases, I am setting up Mailman to use procmail for local routing within my own login. Here is the setup: /etc/mail/virtusertable: @d1.com local:mylogin @d2.net local:mylogin [EMAIL PROTECTED] local:mylogin In ~/.procmailrc: LOGFILE=/home/mylogin/Procmail/log :0: * ^TO_\/(mylogin|myotherlogin)@d1.com $DEFAULT :0fw * ^[EMAIL PROTECTED] |/home/mylogin/mailman/mail/mailman post staff :0fw * ^TO_staff-\/(owner|admin|bounces....and so on...|subscribe)@d2.net |M=`echo $MATCH | sed -e '[EMAIL PROTECTED]//'` && /home/mylogin/mailman/mail/mailman $M staff Now, EVERYTHING is working great -- users can subscribe, post messages, list owner features and user features from web work fine. All messages go to the archives, just like clockwork. Everything works -- except that *I* get no mail from the list! I have tried sending mail to the list from several subscribed addresses, and it all goes through and posts to everyone but my two main addresses. Oddly enough, all regular inbound mail is caught by the first procmail rule and stays in my $DEFAULT folder as intended. I have verified this by temporarily putting another folder name in there. No errors in any of the SMTP logs, Mailman logs, or procmail logs. The procmail log shows a one-byte message being posted to my /var/spool/mail/mylogin mailbox. That's the only anomaly. Any ideas?
