I would recommend installing from source, but I'm biased ... >I see that Ubuntu >comes with > > postfix-to-mailman.py > >a Postfix transport pipe. I do not see this in the 2.1.9 source. >Is this transport pipe really needed? No, it is not needed and may or may not be even desirable, depending on your needs. In order for it to work well, mailman list addresses need to be in their own domain. It is based on qmail-to-mailman.py and also functionally similar to mm-handler, both of which are in the distribution in the contrib/ directory. The main advantage of these delivery methods is they enable delivery of mail to Mailman 'automatically' without requiring aliases. However, Postfix integrates well with Mailman, and Mailman provides automatic updating of aliases for Postfix. >Am I correct in assuming that I can use this python module even if >I install Mailman from the 2.1.9 source?
