Hi,
I know this is a FAQ and yes I've tried to read all items and still I can't
find my way out so hope someone
Can shed some light to this.
Just summarizing what I am about to do. I have an old mailman installation I
need to port to a new server.
The old one is based on EXIM as MTA but I would like to use postfix, because
this is the one I use on a lot of servers.
I need to make mailman virtual. I have around 20 mail domains to handle.
So I install a Ubuntu 10.04LTS 64 bit and get the packages for postfix apache2
and mailman and install
No problem.
When trying to make the virtual postfix/mailman integration, I ran across a
post recommending to use mailman 2.1.14
Ok - I removed the mailman package from Ubuntu , actually 2.1.13 - downloaded
the 2.1.14 source
Ran configure, make and make install all seems OK.
I have added following to mm_cfg.py
##################################################
MTA = "Postfix"
# Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line.
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = [ 'test.sdu.dk',
'some.other.domain',
......
add_virtualhost('test.sdu.dk','test.sdu.dk'
add_virtualhost('some.other.domain','some.other.domain')
called check_perms -f
called genaliases
and checked that i have the files :
my@mls2:/usr/local/mailman$ ll data/alia*
-rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 114222 2011-06-10 09:04 data/aliases
-rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 172032 2011-06-10 09:04 data/aliases.db
my@mls2:/usr/local/mailman$ ll data/virt*
-rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 86149 2011-06-10 09:04 data/virtual-mailman
-rw-rw---- 1 mailman mailman 176128 2011-06-10 09:04 data/virtual-mailman.db
Added to postfix main.cf:
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman
mailman_destination_recipient_limit = 1
AND in transport i have entries like:
test.sdu.dk mailman:
some.other.domain mailman:
....
Then when trying to send a mail to a new list I get the following in mail.log
Jun 10 08:44:22 mls2 Mailman mail-wrapper: Group mismatch error. Mailman

OK I go to the mailman source and recompile as suggested and get

Can anyone help?
