RE: Error installing mailman with exim

 I try to configure mailman on my gateway for internet, using 
 the exim mail
 server

follow that one, and then you will not need to alter your aliases at all. In 
fact, altering aliases will break the config.

 hello
 
 I try to configure mailman on my gateway for internet, using the exim mail
 server
 
 My system is debian woody
 
 I installed exim, and just changed the configuration in order to relay
 my own computer on the local network.
 
 Then I installed mailman and created a new list typing :
 
 # newlist test
 
 It asked me to add some lines in the aliases file. I added in
 /etc/aliases :
 
 ## test mailing list
 ## created: 12-Jun-2002 root
 test:|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post test
 test-admin:  |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test
 test-request:|/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test
 test-owner:  test-admin
 
 I received a confirmation email for the new list test
 
 
 However, if I try to subscribe sending a mail to
 [EMAIL PROTECTED], it didn't work.
 
 I can't send messages to test-admin, test, test-owner either.
 
 there are errors in exim's logs :
 
 2002-06-13 18:13:32 17IXE4-0001kY-00 Neither the system_aliases director
 nor the address_pipe transport set a uid for local delivery of
 |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper post test
 
 

Just do exactly what this message says: set a uid in the system_aliases
director definitions in exim.conf

ex:
system_aliases:
  driver = aliasfile
  file_transport = address_file
  pipe_transport = address_pipe
  file = /etc/aliases
  search_type = lsearch
  user = list

(or user=exim, or user=mailman etc. depending on your configurations)

Michel.





 /var/lib/mailman/bin/check_perms returns no error
 
 Besides, I receive error mails from cron every 15 minutes :
 
 2002-06-12 09:53:03 17I2PM-0005sU-00 Neither the system_aliases director
 nor the address_pipe transport set a uid for local delivery of
 |/var/lib/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test
 
 Where does it not work ?
 
 thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english
