Can't get Mailman to work

2005-10-06 Thread Sasa Stupar

Hi!

I have installed Mailman 2.1.6 from the ports collection on FBSD 5.4. Now I 
have configured apache to have web access and it is working. I have even 
created a list and that worked too. My problem is that when I sent a 
message to the list I get back:

--
Failure to find group name mailnull.  Try adding this group
to your system, or re-run configure, providing an
existing group name with the command line option --with-mail-gid.
--
I have sendmail configured and running just fine. And the group mailnull 
DOES exist on my system. I have even tried to ciompile Mailman with 
different mail_gid but I get allways the same error.

Looks like this is connected to the execution of the smrsh.
Does anyone have (had) the similar problem and how to solve it?

Regards,
Sasa

Getting this right can be somewhat of a pain, unfortunately.  You might try 
setting the --with-mail-gid to 26 explicitly, or you might try setting it to smmsp.


What does grep DefaultUser /etc/mail/sendmail.cf say...?

OK, I have my sendmail now to run as mailnull:
-
# grep DefaultUser /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
O DefaultUser=mailnull
-
But now I have an error in mailman smtp-error log:
-
Oct 06 13:39:03 2005 (8442) SMTP session failure: 530, 5.7.0 Authentication 
required, msgid: 

-
I have on my sendmail setup client smtp authentication but I have also in 
my access file:

-
# by default we allow relaying from localhost...
localhost.localdomain   RELAY
localhost   RELAY
127.0.0.1   RELAY
-
So it should relay without authentication.
What am I missing here?

Got it finally. I had an option for SMTPPORT = '587' in mm_cfg.py. Now I 
have removed it and it works.

What a relief.
