I had sent an email to this list sometime ago with a question about using Mailman with a remote smtp server. I have managed to make this work with the following setup: webserver.foo.com is the Mailman webserver where lists are hosted and smtp.foo.com is the mailserver. Both machines have sendmail running on them. I have created a mail alias on smtp.foo.com for every list hosted on webserver.foo.com. fetchmail runs on webserver.foo.com and pops email from these accounts on smtp.foo.com and these mails are then posted to the lists based on aliases defined in /etc/alias on webserver.foo.com
The problem is that this method is no at all scalable and portable. Is there a better way of doing this ? I am using a remote smtp server due to security issues. I do not want to open any ports on the webserver. However fetchmail requires running sendmail in daemon mode ( listening at port 25). Is there a good security solution if I decide to run an smtp server and the mailman webserver on the same machine ?
