[Mailman-Users] config questions from newbie
Hi all, I'm trying to install/troubleshoot Mailman 2.1 under Redhat 9.0. My MTA is Postfix and it works fine (along with SpamAssassin) I'm not sure exactly how many Mailman-related problems I have but... I can successfully goto the Admin page and subscribe a user. I subscribed myself. I didn't receive the welcome message and I can't figure out why. When I try to restart (or stop or start) MailMan using mailmanctl, I get the following: Traceback (most recent call last): File ./mailmanctl, line 524, in ? main() File ./mailmanctl, line 319, in main check_privs() File ./mailmanctl, line 274, in check_privs gid = grp.getgrnam(mm_cfg.MAILMAN_GROUP)[2] KeyError: getgrnam(): name not found My mm_cfg.py file: DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'mydomain.com' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = mydomain.com' PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = 'http://%(hostname)s/pipermail/%(listname)s' From the Admin page, all the options pages are able to be reached except for: GOTO LIST ARCHIVES. It attempts to reach http://porky.devel.redhat.com/mailman/private/mylistname When I attempt to post a test message to the list, I do not receive it in my mailbox and I'm pretty sure it's not posted to the Archives I've successfully tested the listname alias by changing the listname to point to my mailbox and using postalias to regenerate the database. That worked fine. Any magical incantations to fix the problem(s) and get it working? What am I missing?

There are a number of post referring to this problem in the searchable mailman-users archive, including this one: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg17717.html But it might be worth searching the archives yourself and checking for any other suggestions.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman and Sendmail on different Linux boxes.
Is it possible to run Apache and Mailman on one server but use our existing Mail server (Sendmail) which is on another Redhat box and require authentication for outgoing mail ? i don't want to install sendmail on the same box with Mailman if i can just set up mailman to go through our mail server. i'm new to Linux and especially to Mailman.

If you are running Python earlier than 1.5.2 then neither of the most recent stable versions of MM 2.0.x or MM 2.1.x will run. MM 2.0.13 INSTALL document says: quote 0. Installation requirements You must have the Python interpreter installed somewhere on your system. Currently Python 1.5.2 or later is required, but the latest stable releases of Python 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 are recommended. For information about obtaining Python source code, RPM packages, or pre-compiled binaries please see: http://www.python.org You must also have an ANSI C compiler in order to build the wrapper programs which are used for improved security. The GNU C compiler gcc 2.8.1 or later is known to work well. For more information about obtaining gcc, see http://www.gnu.org /quote In practice, you could go for Py 2.2.3 for MM 2.0.13 but I have seen no reports of using Py 2.3 with it, which may not be OK. MM 2.1.2 INSTALL document says: quote 0. Installation requirements You must have a mail server (MTA) that you can send messages to, and a web server that supports the CGI/1.1 API. Apache makes a fine choice for web server, and MTAs such as Postfix, Exim, Sendmail, and qmail should work just fine. You will need an ANSI C compiler to build Mailman's security wrappers. The GNU C compiler gcc 2.8.1 or later is known to work well. For more information about obtaining gcc, see http://www.gnu.org You must have the Python interpreter installed somewhere on your system. Currently Python 2.1.3 or Python 2.2.1 is recommended. For information about obtaining Python source code, RPM packages, or pre-compiled binaries please see: http://www.python.org If you are building Python from source, you should be fine with the standard ./configure ; make install for most Unix-like OSes. If you run make test, you'll see a bunch of tests skipped -- don't worry, you probably won't need them. Mailman tries to stick to the basics that compile on most systems. If there is a README.yourMTA file that describes your mail server (MTA), read it now. Some MTAs can be integrated more seamlessly with Mailman for support of some advanced features (like creation and removal of lists through-the-web). Examples are Exim and Postfix. Setup instructions for specific MTAs are contained in these README files. /quote In practice, you should go for Py 2.2.3 for MM 2.1.1 or even Py 2.3, which some people have reprorted they are using OK. If you have to install Python, which is not that hard from source code, then use the latest Python and MM release, again from source. You can readily install the later Python (in /usr/local/python for instance) without affecting your existing Python 1.x installation on the machine, which, given you are using Redhat, you probably need to leave in place because of other dependencies. Could you please advise me of which versioon of Mailman will run on this server?

The installation notes say you must have some form of MTA running on the machine running Mailman to deliver incoming posts to Mailman's delivery script(s). Mailman is quite agnostic about what that transfer agent should be and any one of a number of MTAs can be used; see the READMEs in the source distribution. If your main mail server and the mailman server used NFS to give both access to the file space Mailman uses then it might be possible for your Mail server to inject messages directly into Mailman's queues but this is not a configuration I have (yet) attempted but another reader of the list may have done; if so, please step forward. It is simple configuration matter for Mailman to pass outgoing mail direct to an SMTP server on a machine other than the one it (Mailman) is running on. But what do you mean by 'require authentication for outgoing mail' in what you said above? As a sanity check, the main site I manage Mailman for does not expose the Mailman server to the internet. All incoming (and outgoing) mail goes through dedicated mail relay machines that do the site's virus and spam checking on incoming and outgoing mail. The Mailman server's local MTA just gets and passes 'clean' incoming posts to Mailman from the site's mail relays. i don't want to install sendmail on the same box with Mailman if i can just set up mailman to go through our mail server. i'm new to Linux and especially to Mailman.
