I'm playing around a bit with mailman and was wondering how to get it to update /etc/aliases automatically using postfix.
The directions provided in the README.POSTFIX file worked just fine for us.
Here is the stuff from Defaults.py MTA = 'Postfix' POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = [] # not using virtual domains POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postalias POSTFIX_MAP_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postmap'
and I have symlinked /etc/aliases to mail/aliases, but running addlist as either root or (after chown mailman /etc/mail/aliases) mailman it is not updated. What obvious thing have I missed?
You didn't read the instructions completely & correctly.
The scripts are looking for the mailman aliases file in /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases, which should be added to the "alias_maps=" parameter in your postfix/main.cf, but should *NOT* be in the "alias_database=" parameter -- you want Mailman to automatically rebuild and regenerate this Mailman-specific aliases file, not postfix.
