Re: [Mailman-Users] Mountain Lion server trouble
OK, here are steps taken for a (mostly) successful installation on Mountain Lion server, including migration from the apple-supplied mailman previously running under Lion. Primarily, subject to the following comments, I followed the steps in the Snow Leopard instructions at this page: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg56963.html In step 1, I will note that for ML, one would get XCode from the app store, rather than install developer tools. Also, as I was installing on OS X server, postfix was installed and running. Steps 2 and 3, no changes. Added step 3A to migrate data. When I upgraded from Lion Server to ML server, the installer moved my old mailman data to /Library/Server/Migrated/private/var/mailman/. I copied over my existing data and configuration as follows: sudo cp -a /Library/Server/Migrated/private/var/mailman/archives/* /usr/local/mailman/archives/ sudo cp -a /Library/Server/Migrated/private/var/mailman/data/* /usr/local/mailman/data/ sudo cp -a /Library/Server/Migrated/private/var/mailman/lists/* /usr/local/mailman/lists/ sudo cp -a /Library/Server/Migrated/private/var/mailman/qfiles/* /usr/local/mailman/qfiles/ Step 4 is significantly different, as the apache config files are changed in ML server. Here, I created the file /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-mailman.conf containing the following: ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/ Alias /pipermail/ /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/ Alias /icons/ /usr/local/mailman/icons/ Directory /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin order allow,deny allow from all /Directory Directory /usr/local/mailman/archives/public order allow,deny allow from all /Directory Directory /usr/local/mailman/archives/public Options FollowSymLinks /Directory The above is substantially the same as the lines added to httpd.conf in the source instructions, except that it adds the alias for the icons. This alias is instead of copying the icons to /usr/share/httpd/icons, where apache won't find them in ML server. Further, ML Server's apache does not use the httpd.conf file, but rather, /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf. In order to incorporate the configuration we put into the httpd-mailman.conf, above, httpd_server_app.conf is edited to add the following line: #Mailman Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-mailman.conf I put the above right after Include /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/other/*.conf 4(e) re cron jobs was followed without change In step 5, - the real main.cf file, under ML Server, is in /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix - assuming postfix is running, you will already have something like alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases already. Don't change what you have already. Just tack on ,hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases to it. Note the comma. Step 6 followed Step 7 unnecessary, because of the import Step 8 followed. With the exception of one small glitch, it seems to be working well.

[Mailman-Users] Mountain Lion Server Issue after migration from Lion
I was able to install mailmain 2.1.15 and migrate my existing data after I upgraded my server from Lion to Mountain Lion, as detailed in http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg62432.html. It's mostly fine, except that I can't send an email to mailman@mydomain. Postfix is rejecting the address. That is particularly odd, as I can send emails to mailman-requests@mydomain and to the various addresses associated with my other mailman list on the same server. As such, it strikes me that this is an issue with mailman's aliases, rather than a postfix issue. Any ideas? -- 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
