You can have Mailman use a non-local SMTP server by adjusting the Mailman/mm_cfg.py file (see Defaults.py), but it's somewhat annoying to do this as you will have to copy over the list aliases onto the mailserver, rather than having the newlist command do so automagically for you. I suppose you could do the same for a non-local webserver, but that would be even more difficult: you'd almost have to set up filesharing between the two machines so that the list archives and the various Mailman web resources are available on the webserver. If you've already got a webserver somewhere that you'd want to use, you'd be better off running Mailman on there Others will probably laugh me off the list, but my recommendation for such things is to use the Apache ProxyPass stuff. My mail server here contains all the web interface controls/etc on the mail server itself. My webserver has a simply ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse statement to make it appear as though everything resides on the one web server, and thus, one domain. The advantage to this, as well, is there are no direct connections made to my mail server for the web interface through the firewall, since everything from outside is hitting my dedicated web server.

Re: Configuring mailman with web server different from mail server
Olivier sure I do this - configure sendmail on the mailman machine as per instuctions for the list and 'smartrelay' the mail via mailserver on the web machine. On the mailserver also make sure all the aliases for the list point at the webserver. -- Martin On 8/21/07, Olivier Nicole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I am trying to install mailman from the ports. > > I have different machine for the mail server and the web server and I > am trying to figure if this configuration is workable. > > The MTA is sendmail, where could I find configure example? > > Best regards, > > Olivier > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to " > [EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
