[Mailman-Users] Mailman aliases: various places on new server?
Hi Mark, once again, I also had to move my Mailman lists to a new server. Now that I am almost done, I wonder about this: When I run /usr/lib/mailman/bin/genaliases, I see that in /etc/mailman/ the relevant files are updated: - aliases - aliases.db - virtual-mailman - virtual-mailman.db But Postfix won't react on alias changes until I copy at least the aliases* files into /var/lib/mailman/data/. I didn't set up Mailman on the new machine, but my ISP did. In various documentations on the web I see various places for all this stuff. Is there any place where the genaliases output should be written to by default? ---Ulf Dunkel -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Mailman-Users] moving mailman to another server
Hi Myron. ~mailman/bin/check_perms is your friend, really. When you're done fixing all permissions, run ~mailman/bin/unshunt I am almost done with the same stuff - once again. ---Ulf Dunkel -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

In standard GNU Mailman genaliases and list creation/deletion with MTA = 'Postfix' writes/updates aliases* and virtual-mailman* in $var-prefix/data/ where var-prefix is set by configure when Mailman is configured. This can be overridden in mm_cfg.py by setting DATA_DIR = '/etc/mailman' or anything else as desired. It appears your ISP is using some packaged Mailman (possibly Debian or RedHat), but has not properly configured Postfix to look for Mailman's aliases and virtual maps in the place where the package puts them. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Hi Mark. It appears your ISP is using some packaged Mailman (possibly Debian or RedHat), but has not properly configured Postfix to look for Mailman's aliases and virtual maps in the place where the package puts them. It's a VM with CentOS and I guess he simply picked the package from Yum. I have now fixed the relevant entry in /etc/postfix/main.cf: - snip - alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/mailman/aliases - snap - Thank you for your comment, as always. ---Ulf Dunkel -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
[Mailman-Users] wiki.list.org license has been renewed
I think I've managed to get our Confluence license renewed, so those of you with write privileges to wiki.list.org should be able to save pages again. If not, please let me know. I haven't heard much about the Moin conversion lately, but hopefully that will happen before the next time our license runs out. -Barry signature.asc Description: PGP signature -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

Still working through it - sorry it's taking longer than hoped but the confluence XML is, well, interesting: * http://lists.bjdean.id.au/pipermail/mmwiki/2011q3/67.html * http://lists.bjdean.id.au/pipermail/mmwiki/2011q3/68.html * http://moinmo.in/ConfluenceConverter/DevelopmentNotes/TransformProcess#Confluence_Dump_XML We've also had a little less input from members of the assembled team. Now that I think I've got the XML structure pinned down I'll get stuck in to the content extraction and transformation.
