Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 10.04.4
Version: 1:2.1.13-1ubuntu0.2
The postfix-to-mailman.py script does not recognize list names like
"mylist-admin" or "mylist-request".
Currently it strips off the control extension (e.g. "-admin", "-owner",
etc.) from mlist before checking if it actually exists.
This patch is very simple:
- Before checking for control extension, check if list_exists(mlist)
- Import list_exists from Mailman.Utils a little earlier.
Before applying this patch, trying to post to "mylist-admin" would
result in bounce message: "user unknown"
** Affects: mailman (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Patch added: "Check if mlist exists before stripping control extension"
