Hello all. I am attempting to use Mailman-2.1.5 with Courier-0.46 and I haven't had much luck as of yet in terms of getting it going. Right now I have the mailman (site list), and a list called Igors_list which I am currently working with. The aliases I currently have defined are as follows: igors_list: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post igors_list
igors_list-admin: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin igors_list
igors_list-bounces: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces igors_list
igors_list-confirm: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman confirm igors_list
igors_list-join: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman join igors_list
igors_list-leave: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman leave igors_list
igors_list-owner: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner igors_list
igors_list-request: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request igors_list
igors_list-subscribe: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe igors_list
igors_list-unsubscribe: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe igors_list
Note that in the aliases file everyone is on its individual line,, it just got wrapped because of the text editor I'm using for this message.
Your aliases look OK. Do you also have a set for the "mailman" list? You need those too.
I tried sending a test message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (after subscribing myself through the admin interface). In my maillog file, I got the following: Dec 19 10:42:09 shadwiga courierd: newmsg,id=001A8123.41C5A151.000072AE: dns; localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1])

I don't know Courier, but this seems to say the incoming message was delivered to Mailman and I think it was.
However, in /usr/local/mailman/logs/smtp-failure I get this: Dec 19 10:42:11 2004 (29012) Low level smtp error: (-2, 'Name or service not known'), msgid: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Dec 19 10:42:11 2004 (29012) delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with code -1: (-2, 'Name or service not known')
Dec 19 10:42:11 2004 (29012) Low level smtp error: (-2, 'Name or service not known'), msgid: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Dec 19 10:42:11 2004 (29012) delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with code -1: (-2, 'Name or service not known')
It looks here as though Mailman has received your post and is now trying to deliver a "moderation required" or some such message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and then another message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note the msgids are different and both are mailman generated messages, not your post). These attempted deliveries fail. This seems to be a Courier issue of some kind not directly involving aliases.
I've been googling variants of this error message. One sollution I found was to make sure there was an entry for localhost in /etc/hosts, and I already have that. Another one was to set SMTP_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_CONNECTION to a value greater than 0. I tried that and I still got the same message in the smtp-failure log. Should I perhaps try setting MTA to something like Sendmail, since Courier is able to somewhat emulate it? Currently I have it set to Manual. I also have DELIVERY_MODULE set to SMTPDirect. Is there any way I can turn up Mailman's logging so that I might be able to figure out what it doesn't like? Thanks!
MTA = 'Manual' is what you want. This only has to do with how aliases are communicated to the MTA during list creation/deletion. SMTPDirect is also the delivery you want.
I don't think this is a Mailman problem. I think it is a Mailman/Courier integration problem and Mailman is already reporting all it can.
I think Mailman is receiving mail from Courier, but is unable to send. the code '-1' and message (-2, 'Name or service not known') come from the outgoing MTA
You might try finding a Courier specific list or other Courier specific resources to get more information.
