I continued to play with this and I came across the postfix-to-mailman script. The description of what this script provides fits my application perfectly, serving as a postfix to mailman transport pipe. Within the script is a description of how to set it up, I followed this and after restarting the runtimes involved I get the following error in /var/log/mail.log right after I send the mailing list a message:
Mar 29 21:45:32 localhost postfix/trivial-rewrite[4633]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/transport.db: No such file or directory Mar 29 21:45:33 localhost postfix/master[4613]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/trivial-rewrite pid 4633 exit status 1 Mar 29 21:45:33 localhost postfix/master[4613]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/trivial-rewrite: bad command startup -- throttling I believe it has to do with the configuration guidelines in postfix-to-mailman which specify: # /etc/postfix/main.cf: # relay_domains = ... lists.example.com # transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport # mailman_destination_recipient_limit = 1 # # /etc/postfix/transport: # lists.example.com mailman: I created the /etc/postfix/transport file just for this purpose, as in it was not in existence before. As you might expect there is not a /etc/postfix/transport.db file. Is this generated a certain way. Anybody see what I am missing?
