Re: [Mailman-Users] Virtual domain support
Geoff Shang wrote: This would appear to be the sticking point. The aliases file doesn't generate fully-qualified Email addresses, only local parts. How do I ensure that a message to annou...@foo.com doesn't go to annou...@bar.org? This must be doable, because if it's not, then this defeats the whole point of doing this in the first place. Presumably I need to do this in postfix/main.cf somehow but I'm at a loss as to how to do this. Not sure if this will help you or not, but I'll share anywhere ... I have a multi setup for mailman to host multiple domains. All my list domains are configured as 'lists.$domain', for example 'lists.yeehaw.net'. My mailman installations all go under /home/mailman/lists.$domain I don't know how this is done in postfix, but in sendmail I have the following: = /etc/mail/aliases/$domain-aliases mailman-lists.$domain \ |/home/mailman/lists.$domain/mail/$domain-mailman post mailman mailman-admin-lists.$domain:\ |/home/mailman/lists.$domain/mail/$domain-mailman admin mailman mailman-bounces-lists.$domain: \ |/home/mailman/lists.$domain/mail/$domain-mailman bounces mailman mailman-confirm-lists.$domain: \ |/home/mailman/lists.$domain/mail/$domain-mailman confirm mailman = /etc/mail/virtusertable mail...@lists.$domain mailman-lists.$domain mailman-ad...@lists.$domainmailman-admin-lists.$domain mailman-boun...@lists.$domain mailman-bounces-lists.$domain mailman-conf...@lists.$domain mailman-confirm-lists.$domain This ensures that an incoming e-mail to say for example 'mailman-ad...@lists.$domain' gets rerouted to 'mailman-admin-lists.$domain' which the alias then expands in to '|/home/mailman/lists.$domain/mail/$domain-mailman admin mailman' This allows one to have various mailman@'various domains' going to the same server through the same MTA without it going nutso. Now you may be wondering why I renamed the 'mailman' binary to '$domain-mailman'. That's because of permissions within sendmail. Any binary that is going to be sending stuff out needs to be allowed by sendmail, and since I have multiple installations of mailman, in different paths, you can't just tell sendmail it's called 'mailman'. It will get utterly confused when the various lists are trying to send something out. So, by renaming each one to their respective $domain, it keeps sendmail from going bonkers. In my /usr/adm/sm.bin/ I have various symlinks to $domain-mailman which link back to /home/mailman/lists-$domain/mail/$domain-mailman Cheers -- W | It's not a bug - it's an undocumented feature. + Ashley M.

However, I have this nagging feeling I'm forgetting something, so I thought I'd ask the experts. Maybe I did over look something, not sure...

After fixing the directory permissions, I installed mailman 2.1.9 (which was an upgrade from 2.1.8 for me) and after starting cron and the qrunner, everything appears fine. Passwords are still what they were and mail is flowing. All of the web services are working as well (still under suexec.)

Re: [Mailman-Users] Virtual sites
Carl Zwanzig wrote: Probably the easiest way to get the 'multiple' domains that you want is to run one instance of mailman for each domain. Yoy can then configure the smtphost for that specific domain. And to second this part of Carl's e-mail, this is exactly what I'm doing on my end. I wanted to be able to have the same mailing list *name* exist across multiple virtual domains. Back in January 2003 I posted a question about this, and at the time, Barry Warsaw replied with the following: -- AMK Under MM2.0.x I created separate installations for AMK different virtual hosts. This allowed me to create the same AMK list name, on a different virtual host without having mailman AMK conflict. Now, with MM2.1, how should I continue to do this? MM2.1 doesn't lift this restriction, so your best bet is to continue your current approach. However, there /is/ a semi-supported extension mechanism that you might be able to use to share one installation to do it all. See the Mailman/Site.py file for details, although there's no guarantee this will give you enough of a hook. -Barry -- So far I haven't seen this change, and to be perfectly honest, I don't really expect it to either. I can't speak for everyone, but I think the number of people who have the same type of installation as me are fairly limited compared to everyone else who runs MM. But then, I could be wrong. MM does what it was designed to do. The fact that a few of us have quirky setups, I don't think is enough to go through a rewrite. :) Just my two cents. But to comment on Jay Vaagen's original post, I think separating the virtual domains across multiple MM installations might be the easier way to go. I have one server that's is specifically for MM, and it's hosting 7 different domains, each one with anywhere between 5 to 50 lists on each installation. -- Ash -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

[Mailman-Users] Sendmail smrsh + multiple mailman
I have a bit of an odd one here. I have multiple mailman installations on one machine (for reasons we won't detail here) as follows: ~mailman/host1_list/mailman install for one specific hostname ~mailman/host2_list/mailman install for another specific hostname etc. When e-mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] arrives, it goes into the appropriate folder and does what Mailman does best. The same for [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc., etc. (this setup allows me to have the same list name across multiple domains, behaving as individual lists) The problem I'm running into now is sendmail's smrsh. I can copy the wrapper from one of those hosts into sendmail smrsh's folder, however it will only work for that one host installation. It won't work for the next. And since all the wrappers are called 'mailman', obviously I can't copy all of them in the same (smrsh) folder. So, my question, or questions: a) Is there an easy solution to this where smrsh will work? b) If not, can the 'mailman' wrapper be renamed? (this of course means aliases also get adjusted accordingly) -- H | I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. + Ashley M.

[Mailman-Users] SUEXEC question
Mailman likes to have the scripts in /cgi-bin/ to be run with set-gid, however SUEXEC won't allow it. So, a) can mailman work in a SUEXEC environment if I turn OFF the set-gid bit?, or b) what other caveats do I have to look out for with mailman running in a SUEXEC environment? I looked in the FAQ for 'suexec' but that search turned up empty, so I'm not sure if I'm not searching for the right term, or whether no one has tried it yet.

Re: [Mailman-Users] unknown mailer problems
Mark Sapiro wrote: It's hard to know what the problem might be because you seem to be presenting a moving target and not telling us much about what you're doing. Your initial post was about suEXEC and removing the setgid bit from the various wrappers in the cgi-bin/ directory. Yes it was, and after removing the set-gid bits from everything within the /cgi-bin/, I kept on trucking because it seemed to run just fine. I say seemed because I haven't done a whole lot of testing just yet. When I was ready to do that, I ran into the unknown mailer problem... Which by the way has now been solved as well. Keep reading please... First of all, the scripts/post script is not normally found in the lists/ directory. This is correct, however I run mailman across several domains, on the same server, and its built-in virtual domain capabilities simply don't allow me to do what I want to do (or what my clients want.) So, I install mailman under one user, but in separate folders (for separate domains) /lists/ being one of them (this by the way was brought up several times in the past.) So yes, your assumption is correct, I do configure mailman with --prefix=/home/mailman/domain/ So, are you trying to remove setgid from everything and somehow give permissions to the mail-gid and the cgi-gid? I don't really know about running Mailman under suEXEC. Neither do I, however with our recent web server upgrades and batting down the hatches, I'm forces to find a way to install Mailman under suexec. So this was my project of the day. I think what this really means is it isn't possible to set Mailman up properly to run with suEXEC. Maybe so, however I'm still testing it out. Yes, I have removed the set-gid bit from anything within the /cgi-bin/ folder since that's what suexec requires. As for the other error (unknown mailer error), python won't read/execute programs in a folder that's g-x which /home/mailman/ was. Once that restriction was removed, it happily worked. Now I need to continue testing, sending myself mail, subscribing, etc., etc. So far, it's working. -- H | I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. + Ashley M.

Re: [Mailman-Users] unknown mailer problems
Mark Sapiro wrote: I'm not saying it won't work. I think it probably will. The one issue I think you may have is if you have private archives, they may turn out to be accessible to anyone because your web server now runs as group mailman which is documented as wrong for this reason. Hrm, yes, that would be a problem (I just tested it and it's indeed visible to everyone, despite the URL difference.) I'd hate to have to come up with a login procedure outside of mailman simply because it won't play well with suexec. Yes I realize it's mentioned very specifically that mailman needs for the exec not to be run as the mailman user, however that will go against suexec's security feature. So I guess my question now is, what can be done to make this work? Or maybe a better question would be, when will mailman reach a point where it will and can run within a suexec environment?

Does that mean I'm all done, and I don't have to do anything else with the list files? 2) Paths also changed when I upgraded. The previous installation was in /usr/people/mailman, and it's now in /home/mailman. Presumably, all the lists are still assuming they're using the old path. What needs to be done to get that solved?

[Mailman-Users] vhosts (does it ever end?)
Under MM2.0.x I created separate installations for different virtual hosts. This allowed me to create the same list name, on a different virtual host without having mailman conflict. Now, with MM2.1, how should I continue to do this? I have one single machine that hosts several domains. I need to be able to create the same list name across different domains, and have them behave as separate lists as well. So, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] should be two separate lists. Since I'm using sendmail, and I make use of virtusertable, I need to specify each mailto address for sendmail to accept mail properly. Keeping all of this in mind, can, or will MM2.1 be able to do same-name list virtual hosting, or am I better off continuing my old setup of multiple MM installations, one for each virtual domain? -- W | I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. + Ashley M.

Re: [Mailman-Users] restart question
WhitmoreWebWorks wrote: Well, I had done that - but more kept coming. For the same lists that had developed lock files. Should I be checking those individual lists for errors? Sorry - I just am not sure where I should be looking to fix this mess. Mailman creates lock files whenever it's accessing the config.db file. This happens both through qrunner, as well as any access to the web interface. The difference is that the web interface creates short lock files - short in the sense that they will get deleted as soon as that task is done (whether you're logging in, or viewing one of the membership pages.) Qrunner on the other hand creates a lock file for as long as it needs it - and it's that length of time that may be a problem. If it's taking more than (the default) 5 minutes for qrunner to finish its task, that lock file can become stale when cron fires off a second qrunner task. One thing you could do is this: temporarily remove the qrunner task from cron. Then manually try to run it and see how long it takes. If it takes a while to run, you may have to adjust your cron time. -- H | I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. + Ashley M.

This is an error that has been posted before by many (including myself) and
I think the general solution was either downgrade to an earlier version of
Mailman, or tell it to use python2 instead. Of course this would mean you have
python2 installed.

[Mailman-Users] Spam intrusion
I'd like to know how posts from NON-members are getting posted to lists that are explicitly set to only allow members: -- post to hyperbolical from [EMAIL PROTECTED], size=743, success post to hypnotica from [EMAIL PROTECTED], size=723, 1 failures post to notgoingtostop from [EMAIL PROTECTED], size=755, success post to perennity from [EMAIL PROTECTED], size=726, success -- This is running MM 2.0.11 and for whatever dumb reason it rejects some, and it allows others. All lists are set to allow only members to post (I've just verified that myself), yet as you can see above, three out of four got through without a hitch. Can someone tell me what might be happening?

Re: [Mailman-Users] Configuring sendmail
