I am relatively new to mailman, but for the last year or so I have run several lists using it...
I recently split my web server and mail server up, (they were previously on the same machine, now they are on the same internal network, but different machines.)
Mailman is the only thing I've not been able to sort out with this new setup..
I setup postfix on the new server and installed mailman. (2.1.2) with no probs.. I then set relayhost in that postfix to use the real mail server for any mail to go out...
Then on the old machine which is now just the mail server, but used to be both web and mail, I changed the aliases for mailman in /etc/postfix/aliases so that instead of piping commands to the mailman binary, they instead directed list posts to the web servers postfix (I used a fake internal domain "internal.com" for the web servers postfx mydestination and added it to the hosts file of both machines) The aliases are now in this form:
mailman-admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-bounces: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-confirm: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-join: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-leave: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-request: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then on the web server, I put the real mailman aliases that pipe to the mailman binary into its aliases file...
This seems something of a mess.. and I'm also having a problem that internal.com is resolved via dns to an external site (who'd have thought :-) postfix seesm to ignore the hosts entries (and the /var/spool/postfix/etc/hosts) entries and is just using dns to resolve, (even though resolv.conf and hosts.conf are set to seach locally first)..
Anyway, after much scratching of my head, searching the net, reading mailman docs I am not really any closer to getting this working...
I am not a postfix guru (or any MTA for that matter.) so I am not even sure how I should be naming an internal mailserver that only has access to the external net via my real mail server.
Can you guys give me any pointers as to the best way I can achive this???
kindest regards
Franki
