# Interface mailman to a Courier virtual domain. Does not require the creation
# of _any_ list-specific aliases to connect lists to your mail system.

# This is free software under the GNU General Public License.
#
# This script is meant to be called from
# <domain_home>/alias/.courier-default. It catches all mail to any address
# at a virtual domain not otherwise handled by an explicit account or a
# .courier file. It looks at the recepient for each mail message not
# otherwise handled and decides if the mail is addressed to a valid list or
# not, and bounces the message with a helpful suggestion if it's not
# addressed to a list. It decides if it is a posting, a list command, or
# mail to the list administrator by checking for the various address tags as
# defined in manual Mailman list creation output (~mailman/bin/newlist). It
# will recognize a list as soon as the list is created. Above and beyond
# setting up a proper locally-hosted domain in Courier (the use of webadmin
# is highly recommended!), no other configuration should be required. This
# program recognizes mail to postmaster, mailman-owner, abuse,
# mailer-daemon, root, and owner, and routes those mails to MailmanOwner as
# defined in the configuration variables, above.
#
# INSTALLATION:
#
# Install this file as @prefix@/bin/courier-to-mailman.py
#
# To configure a virtual domain to connect to mailman, create these files:
#
# <domain_home>/alias/.courier-listname
# ... containing ...
# |/usr/bin/preline @prefix@/bin/courier-to-mailman.py
#
# Symlink <domain_home>/alias/.courier-listname-default to this file
#
# "listname" is the name of your list.
#
# Paths must, of course, be set correctly for the Courier and Mailman
# installations on your system.
#
# Note: "preline" is a Courier program which ensures a Unix "From " header
# is on the message. Archiving will break without this.
