How is Mailman delivering mail? If it is delivering to a local MTA on
localhost, how it identifies itself in HELO to this MTA is irrelevant as
it is this MTA, not Mailman that is attempting delivery to the recipient MX.
I could understand this with the move to the new server except every
where I know to configure this (both postfix and mailman) I have the
name email.marmot.org configured as the URL of the host. Regular email
works fine from that box, just mailman is having a problem sending.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm missing?
In the normal case, Mailman relays mail through the local MTA (Postfix).
How Mailman identifies itself to this MTA is irrelevant as long as the
MTA accepts the mail from Mailman (does it)?
If the local postfix can deliver mail, but not Mailman's mail, the only
thing I can see that would affect this is the envelope sender which
would be LISTNAME-bounces@HOSTNAME where HOSTNAME is the list's
host_name attribute.
Damn... that was fun. It took two things to get it working again. I
needed to rename the server to something with a mx record, in this case:
email.marmot.org vrs what it was. AND I had to turn off ipv6 on the
interfaces. Mailman and postfix are on the same box. Somehow the
mailman messages where picking up the ipv6 localhost address as the
source of the original message and it appears that being rejected by
receiving servers. Once I renamed the server and ditched ipv6 the
messages started delivering again.
