Copy the mm21 admin directory out of the mm21 branch. We'll svn
external the latter to get that back into the release, but I really
don't want to maintain multiple copies of the web pages.

To make -virtual alias domains work with Mailman, you need to do some setup in both -Postfix and Mailman. Mailman will write all virtual alias mappings to a file -called, by default, <span class="file">/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman</span>. It will -also use <b class="program">postmap</b> to create the <b class="program">virtual-mailman.db</b> file -that Postfix will actually use. - -<P> -First, you need to set up the Postfix virtual alias domains as described in -the Postfix documentation (see Postfix's <code>virtual(5)</code> manpage). Note -that it's your responsibility to include the <code>virtual-alias.domain -anything</code> line as described manpage; Mailman will not include this line in -<span class="file">virtual-mailman</span>. You are highly encouraged to make sure your virtual -alias domains are working properly before integrating with Mailman. - -<P> -Next, add a path to Postfix's <var>virtual_alias_maps</var> variable, pointing to -the virtual-mailman file, e.g.: - -<P> -<div class="verbatim"><pre> - virtual_alias_maps = <your normal virtual alias files>, - hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman -</pre></div> - -<P> -assuming you've installed Mailman in the default location. If you're using an -older version of Postfix which doesn't have the <var>virtual_alias_maps</var> -variable, use the <var>virtual_maps</var> variable instead. - -<P> -Next, in your <span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span> file, you will want to set the variable -<var>POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS</var> to the list of virtual domains that Mailman -should update. This may not be all of the virtual alias domains that your -Postfix installation supports! The values in this list will be matched -against the <var>host_name</var> attribute of mailing lists objects, and must be an -exact match. - -<P> -Here's an example. Say that Postfix is configured to handle the virtual -domains <code>dom1.ain</code>, <code>dom2.ain</code>, and <code>dom3.ain</code>, and further -that in your <span class="file">main.cf</span> file you've got the following settings: - -<P> -<div class="verbatim"><pre> - myhostname = mail.dom1.ain - mydomain = dom1.ain - mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain - virtual_alias_maps = - hash:/some/path/to/virtual-dom1, - hash:/some/path/to/virtual-dom2, - hash:/some/path/to/virtual-dom2 -</pre></div> - -<P> -If in your <span class="file">virtual-dom1</span> file, you've got the following lines: - -<P> -<div class="verbatim"><pre> - dom1.ain IGNORE - @dom1.ain @mail.dom1.ain -</pre></div> - -<P> -this tells Postfix to deliver anything addressed to <code>dom1.ain</code> to the -same mailbox at <code>mail.dom1.com</code>, its default destination. - -<P> -In this case you would not include <code>dom1.ain</code> in -<var>POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS</var> because otherwise Mailman will write -entries for mailing lists in the dom1.ain domain as - -<P> -<div class="verbatim"><pre> - mylist@dom1.ain mylist - mylist-request@dom1.ain mylist-request - # and so on... -</pre></div> - -<P> -The more specific entries trump your more general entries, thus breaking the -delivery of any <code>dom1.ain</code> mailing list. - -<P> -However, you would include <code>dom2.ain</code> and <code>dom3.ain</code> in -<span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span>: - -<P> -<div class="verbatim"><pre> - POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['dom2.ain', 'dom3.ain'] -</pre></div> - -<P> -Now, any list that Mailman creates in either of those two domains, will have -the correct entries written to <span class="file">/usr/local/mailman/data/virtual-mailman</span>. - -<P> -As above with the <span class="file">data/aliases*</span> files, you want to make sure that both -<span class="file">data/virtual-mailman</span> and <span class="file">data/virtual-mailman.db</span> are user and -group owned by <code>mailman</code>. - -<P> - -<DIV CLASS="navigation"> -<div class='online-navigation'> -<p></p><hr /> -<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> -<tr> -<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="6.1.1 Integrating Postfix and" - href="node13.html"><img src='previous.png' - border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></A></td> -<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="6.1 Using the Postfix" - href="node12.html"><img src='up.png' - border='0' height='32' alt='Up One Level' width='32' /></A></td> -<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="next" title="6.1.3 An alternative approach" - href="node15.html"><img src='next.png' - border='0' height='32' alt='Next Page' width='32' /></A></td> -<td align="center" width="100%">GNU Mailman - Installation Manual</td> -<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' - border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> -<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' - border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> -<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' - border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> -</tr></table> -<div class='online-navigation'> -<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> -<a class="sectref" rel="prev" href="node13.html">6.1.1 Integrating Postfix and</A> -<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> -<a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="node12.html">6.1 Using the Postfix</A> -<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> -<a class="sectref" rel="next" href="node15.html">6.1.3 An alternative approach</A> -</div> -</div> -<hr /> -<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 13, 2005.</span> -</DIV> -<!--End of Navigation Panel--> - -</BODY> -</HTML> |
