I upgraded from Mailman 2.0.6 to 2.1.5, and I'm having a problem with
the aliases. My MTA is Postfix.
Here's my problem. Our mail system uses the LDAP server for all the MTA
required local aliases. However, on the specific server hosting
Mailman, I modified the following line in the Postfix main.cf file to
include the Mailman aliases file:
alias_database =
dbm:/etc/postfix/aliases,dbm:/opt/mailman_2.1.5/data/aliases
Apart from hosting Mailman, that server is not part of our regular mail
system.
When a message is sent to <listname>@linfield.edu, Postfix, on which
ever one of the mail gateway servers that first sees the message, looks
up the alias, and then using the mailroutingaddress attribute, re-routes
the mail to <listname>@calvin.linfield.edu, which is the actual name of
the host. However, when the mail hits the Mailman server, Postfix
reject it with the error:
550 <<listname>@calvin.linfield.edu>: User unknown in local
recipient table
The other pertinent setting in main.cf is:
local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps, dbm:/opt/mailman_2.1.5/data/aliases
I've played extensively with the various Postfix parameters, and I've
not been able to resolve this problem. It probobly is a Postfix
settings issue, and I'm hoping someone has had and resolved a similar issue.
Thanks,
Rob
