The earlier attempt was to use a ubuntu package style —prefix with ./configure. I’ve abandoned that and am now just using the mailman 2.1.23 tgz plain and simple: ./configure make sudo make install
The previously attached mm_cfg.py has MTA=Postfix … MTA='Postfix' SMTPHOST = 'localhost' SMTPPORT = 25 I’ve also searched (whereis and locate) the disk for virtual-mailman and virtual-mailman.db and did not find any. Ah but if bin/genaliases is not reading my /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py then what could it be reading?
