With: --with-mail-gid=mail I am not so very sure.
In the manual is written: On systems using sendmail, the 'sendmail.cf'
configuration file
designates the group id of sendmail processes using the DefaultUser option.
So I watched sendmail.cf and it`s written:
# default UID (can be username or userid:groupid)
O DefaultUser=mail:mail
I added the user mail with useradd -g mail -s /bin/false mail
- so this should be correct?
Yes. That all should be correct.
Sendmail I installed with: apt-get install sendmail
In /etc/aliases I have the default-mailmanlist and I have:
help: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post help
help-admin:|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin help
help-bounces: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces help
help-confirm: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman confirm help
help-join: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman join help
help-leave:|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman leave help
help-owner:|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner help
help-request: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request help
help-subscribe:|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe help
help-unsubscribe: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe help
After that I did newaliases and got a confirmation of that.
In sendmail.cf there is No entry for smrsh, so I should not have that.
The problem is still: If I send a mail to the mailinglist it`s not posted to
the members of the list.
Are you sending to the 'help' mailing list
([EMAIL PROTECTED])?
Has anybode experiences with mailman in combination with sendmail?
Is there anything that is important to look at?
What happens to the mail to the list. Is it returned as undeliverable?
If so, why?
Look in sendmail's maillog and see what sendmail did with the mail.
What I don`t understand: If I get a confirmation after creating a mailinglist
or after subscribing a user to a list
it should mean that sendmail runs correctly? Or not
It means that sendmail is accepting mail via an SMTP connection FROM
Mailman and delivering it to the recepient addresses.
It does not say anything about whether or not sendmail knows how to
deliver mail TO Mailman or even if the mail gets to sendmail.
Note I just tried to connect to h1228898.stratoserver.net port 25 from
two different machines and was unable to connect. This means that at
least at this time sendmail is not listening for a port 25 connection
from the outside, and thus mail from the outside cannot be delivered
to this machine.
