Re: [Mailman-Users] Need assistance configuring Mailman version 2.1.15 on RHEL7

2019-08-12 Thread Mr. Vishal Gandhi 
Thank you so much for providing me guidance, Jim.  We have mailing lists on our 
in-house which we want to decommission.  So, we have to keep the email 
addresses same for the respective mailing lists (means they must have @fdu.edu 
domain).


I wrote a program to create mailing lists using a default config file which has 
default settings including domain set to fdu.edu .  I added code which takes 
the list of subscribers for the mailing list exported from old system and 
subscribes them to the newly created mailing list which looks like is working 
based on some internal testing.


Thank you again for your help and guidance.  We really appreciate it.

An important consideration is whether you want to let your Mailman
system create an arbitrary mailing list.  For example would your mail
admin allow the Mailman system create a list named: vgan...@fdu.edu?

The easiest solution is to create mailing lists in a separate name space
(domain).  The common practice is to create lists under lists.fdu.edu.
Then Mm-handler is the easy solution.  You can ignore all the troubles
with generating aliases files.  If your mail admin really wants the list
to appear in fdu.edu they can add the aliases under fdu.edu.  Mm-handler
is shown for sendmail but it will work in any mailer.

Hi Mark,


Thank you so much for providing me guidance.  We have mailing lists on our 
in-house which we want to decommission.  So, we have to keep the email 
addresses same for the respective mailing lists (means they must have @fdu.edu 
domain).


I wrote a program to create mailing lists using a default config file which has 
default settings including domain set to fdu.edu .  I added code which takes 
the list of subscribers for the mailing list exported from old system and 
subscribes them to the newly created mailing list which looks like is working 
based on some internal testing.  Also, we made only one change in mm_cfg.py 
file which is to change http: to https: so that url generated for newly created 
mailing list are secure links (ex. starts with https instead of default http).


I am curious whether there are any guides or security best practices for 
Mailman?  Our mailman version is 2.1.15 on RHEL7.


Thank you again for your help and guidance.  We really appreciate it.

First of all, the primary support resource for this package should be
RedHat. See <https://wiki.list.org/x/12812344>.

That said, see <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030592>

What you want in mm_cfg.py is

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'fdu.edu'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'fdu.edu'
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

The second line above, DEFAULT_URL_HOST should be set to whatever host
name you want for accessing the web UI.

Then, if you have existing lists, you need to run Mailman's

bin/withlist -a -r fix_url

to update those.
