[Mailman-Users] Problem Migrating Mailman to New Server
I am installing a replacement server and am having trouble migrating Mailman. The installation works but none of my lists show up when I use the browser interface. However, when I run 'list_lists' from the command line they are there. Is this a config issue with just the HTML interface or is there something else fundamentally wrong? I thought I just needed to do a simple copy of the /var/lib/mailman directory to the new server but perhaps there is more to it then that.

[Mailman-Users] /etc/aliases vs. /etc/mailman/aliases
I am configuring mailman on a Red Hat Enterprise server, single domain (for now). I've gone through some different configs, finally almost have it working. When I create a new list, it updates the /etc/mailman/aliases file and updates it. /etc/mailman: -rw-rw-rw- 1 root mailman 6040 Oct 17 18:44 aliases -rw-rw-rw- 1 root mailman 12288 Oct 17 19:01 aliases.db Problem is, postfix seems to be using /etc/aliases for the aliases file. If I add my mailman entries in /etc/aliases, email works. How can I tell Postfix to also check the /etc/mailman/aliases file, or is it better to tell mailman to write to the /etc/aliases file? Seems like I'd rather keep my malman aliases in /etc/mailman/aliases. Thanks!

Seems like I'd rather keep my malman aliases in /etc/mailman/aliases. This is really a RedHat package question (i.e. why doesn't RedHat's package update Postfix main.cf?), but ... It is better to keep your Mailman aliases separate. Otherwise, you will run into permissions issues and also, Mailman doesn't really know about 'other' aliases in /etc/aliases and various Mailman events can lose some or all of them. You probably have something like alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases in your Postfix main.cf. Possibly other files are listed too. You need to add hash:/etc/mailman/aliases to the list, e.g. alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/mailman/aliases and reload postfix. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED]The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Help - Mailman programs all do Memory Fault' on Linux, here's what I tried to fix it
Hi, I am on Debian 2.6.8. I used apt-get to update Python to 2-4 and the latest version of mailman. I used one archive in sources.list; deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free When I attempt to start it I get this message: # # /etc/init.d/mailman start * Site list for mailman (usually named mailman) missing. * Please create it; until then, mailman will refuse to start. Searching around the web I found I needed to create a list mailman (though I have not figured out why it was not seeing my existing lists, that is for later) I got this; # newlist mailman Memory fault I thought the problem might be with the debian mailmail I went to sourceforge and downloaded and installed 2.1.11 and nothing changed. I though the problem might be with Python, I downlaoded and installed Python 2.6 and there were changes in that when I tried to install mailman I got this: Compiling /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/i18n.py ...

This is a Debian package issue. Somehow your update of Mailman and Python has lost your prior Mailman installation. Searching around the web I found I needed to create a list mailman (though I have not figured out why it was not seeing my existing lists, that is for later) Assuming your prior Mailman was 2.1.x, you already had a mailman list; it was lost with the others: I got this; # newlist mailman Memory fault I thought the problem might be with the debian mailmail I went to sourceforge and downloaded and installed 2.1.11 and nothing changed.

Help! Make sure you have good backups of your Mailman lists/ and archives/private/ directories at a minimum. Make sure you have a working Python installation no older than 2.4.x and no newer than 2.5.x. Configure Mailman 2.1.11 with the appropriate prefix, var-prefix, etc to match your existing installation and make install. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED]The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
