Hello - We just moved Mailman to a new server and the version we're now using is 2.1.14. I'm sorry I don't remember what the old version was, but it was pretty old... we had not upgraded for years (oops).
Anyway, with our old Mailman, whenever I created a new list it would automatically put a nice stanza into my aliases file that looked like this: # STANZA START: academicsenate # CREATED: Fri Sep 5 14:31:10 2008 academicsenate: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post academicsenate" academicsenate-admin: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin academicsenate" academicsenate-bounces: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces academicsenate" academicsenate-confirm: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm academicsenate" academicsenate-join: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join academicsenate" academicsenate-leave: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave academicsenate" academicsenate-owner: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner academicsenate" academicsenate-request: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request academicsenate" academicsenate-subscribe: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe academicsenate" academicsenate-unsubscribe: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe academicsenate" # STANZA END: academicsenate It would place it in the file in the correct alphabetical order, and it would run newaliases when it was finished. I have to confess I got rather spoiled, never having to put in the aliases entries. But with this new version, when I create a new list I get a message showing me the format of the aliases entry and telling me I have to put this into the aliases file myself. It seems strange to me that Mailman would have this nice automatic entry feature, and then would somehow go back to making us do it by hand again. I must be missing something. Is there a configuration that I can tweak that will enable automatic entry into the aliases file? We are running on Ubuntu precise (12.04.4 LTS) Thanks for any help you can give me!
