Subject: problem using [EMAIL PROTECTED] entry for ezmlm + qmail-ldap
Hi,
I been exchanging emails for the past few days with ezmlm-web people regarding
my problem with getting ezmlm-web work with my qmail-ldap installation... I
hope someone here could help me..
Here it is:
For my mailing list, someone from ezmlm-web suggested using one(1) dedicated user to
manage all the mailing lists, the same thing with "vmail" user managing all the
Maildirs of all the virtual users. Also, a separate domain (in my case, I used
lists.our.domain).The entry looks like this:
...using qmail-ldaplookup
dn: uid=ezmlmboy,ou=people,o=our,dc=domain
-------------------------------------------------------
objectClass: top
objectClass: qmailUser
objectClass: person
mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
uid: ezmlmboy
accountStatus: active -------> this is weird as it was nopop in
my ldif file.
mailHost: mail2.our.domain
homeDirectory: /var/ezmlm/lists
aliasEmpty: using default
qmailDotMode: dotonly
qmailUID: 1012
qmailGID: 1012
mailQuotaSize: 50000000
mailQuotaCount: 0 (unlimited)
mailSizeMax: 0 (unlimited)
mailReplyText: undefined
ezmlmboy is present is also present as a unix account
ezmlmboy:*:1012:1012::0:0:ezmlm mailing list
user:/var/ezmlm/lists:/usr/sbin/nologin
When I run the ezmlm-web program to create a test mailing lists (eg; "ops"),
dot-qmail files are created inside /var/ezmlm/lists,
see...
# ls /var/ezmlm/lists/
.qmail-ops .qmail-ops-owner lists
.qmail-ops-default .qmail-ops-return-default
Now, when I try subscribing one, email to "ops" mailing list and sending
a test email, I got an error at qmail saying: "no mailbox here by that
name"
What's happening here??
I thought a user with a [EMAIL PROTECTED] email address will
catch all the emails destined to an address that does not exists in ldap
(in my case "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
You need to create a special catchall account for the lists. Specifically,
<listname>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a script that gets things set up for ezmlm lists on my qmail-ldap
install. It sets qmailDotMode: dotonly, and a mailAlternateAddress:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Happy to give you the cgi if you like.
