I have been trying to get Mailman to work with qmail for a couple of
weeks now and I can't seem to make the final connection. I
researched the archives and I have dutifully read this list for over
1000 messages.
Mailman is able to send messages just fine. My problem is that I
can't seem to reply back to Mailman via qmail.
qmail understands that I have created a virtual domain, because it
is only complaining that the mailbox doesn't exist.
As far as I can tell by reading the docs, once the virtual directory is
in place, the mechanisms that qmail uses to redirect mail to other
processes are the .qmail-?????? files in the virtual directory.
I created the virtual directory (which is alongside a bunch of virtual
directories that are working just fine to deliver regular mail), put the
.qmail files there for qmail to find and redirect mail to a process.
To the rcpthosts file, I added:
matrixlist.com
To the virtualdomains file, I added:
matrixlist.com:matrixlist-com
But, when I send mail to those .qmail- files in the virtual directory,
like .qmail-test-request for example, I get this:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
My question is this:
Is there something I can put into those .qmail-???? files for
troubleshooting that will tell me if qmail got that far?
For example, can I put something into .qmail-test-request like:
|/bin/cat /tmp/blah > /tmp/qmail-test-request
I have done that and /tmp/qmail-test-request never appeared even
though I replied to a list named: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This leads me to believe that there is some other configuration file
that qmail uses to know that the mailbox test-request exists
_before_ it gets to the .qmail-test-request file.
Can someone here please shed some light on why this doesn't
work?
Is there a log file that I should be looking at?
Thanks.
