The exim4 daemon runs with group id = Debian-exim. That is why I configured Mailman --with-mail-gid=Debian-exim. I assumed that the mail-gid was the group id of the mail daemon. However, I have reconfigured Mailman --with-mail-gid=mailman as you suggested. > >I have tried to apply to the content of section 6.2 in the > >mailman-2.1.14-1/doc/mailman-install.txt > > > >/etc/exim4/conf.d/main/04_local_mailman_macros > >/etc/exim4/conf.d/router/970_local_mailman > >/etc/exim4/conf.d/./transport/40_local_mailman > > > Did you read the note at the beginning of section 6.2 which says in > part "The updated document is here: > http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html and is recommended over the > information in the subsections below if you are using Exim 4." > > That document is even less helpful. It doesn't mention what files to add the lines: MM_HOME=/var/mailman MM_UID=mailman MM_GID=mailman and domainlist mm_domains=list.example.com There is nothing in the mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py that has MM_HOME etc. however there is reference to MAILMAN_HOME etc. Hence I used what was in the documentation with the mailman/doc/mailman-install.txt files. I have no idea in which file(s) to add the: accept domains = +local_domains endpass message = unknown user verify = recipient and accept hosts = 127.0.0.1 content. The list verification output seemed to be correct so I guess the content of the mailman/docs/mailman-install.txt file worked expect that the messages were not getting through. I think that the exim4 needs to be changes to allow to and from external emails but I have no idea how to do this. > >The content of my: > >syslog > >apache error logs and > >mailman error logs > > > >tell me nothing that I can understand. > > > Well, you are coming here for help because we might be able to > understand what's in those logs, but not if we don't see them.
