Because the admin directory is no longer included, the www directory isn't
either, and that's where the generated docs used to live. So now, make this
directory include the generated docs, removing the old IPC7 and LISA-98
directories, and the .tex source files. These latter are moved to the admin
repository.

name="SECTION001500000000000000000"> +5 Set up your web server</a> +</h1> + +<p> +Congratulations! You've installed the Mailman software. To get everything +running you need to hook Mailman up to both your web server and your mail +system. + +<p> +If you plan on running your mail and web servers on different machines, +sharing Mailman installations via NFS, be sure that the clocks on those two +machines are synchronized closely. You might take a look at the file +<span class="file">Mailman/LockFile.py</span>; the constant <var>CLOCK_SLOP</var> helps the locking +mechanism compensate for clock skew in this type of environment. + +<p> +This section describes some of the things you need to do to connect Mailman's +web interface to your web server. The instructions here are somewhat geared +toward the Apache web server, so you should consult your web server +documentation for details. + +<p> +You must configure your web server to enable CGI script permission in the +<span class="file"><var>$prefix</var>/cgi-bin</span> to run CGI scripts. The line you should add +might look something like the following, with the real absolute directory +substituted for <var>$prefix</var>, of course: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + Exec /mailman/* $prefix/cgi-bin/* +</pre></div> + +<p> +or: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + ScriptAlias /mailman/ $prefix/cgi-bin/ +</pre></div> + +<p> +<div class="warning"><b class="label">Warning:</b> + +You want to be very sure that the user id under which your CGI scripts run is +<strong>not</strong> in the <code>mailman</code> group you created above, otherwise private +archives will be accessible to anyone. +</div> + +<p> +Copy the Mailman, Python, and GNU logos to a location accessible to your web +server. E.g. with Apache, you've usually got an <span class="file">icons</span> directory that +you can drop the images into. For example: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + % cp $prefix/icons/*.{jpg,png} /path/to/apache/icons +</pre></div> + +<p> +You then want to add a line to your <span class="file"><var>$prefix</var>/Mailman/mm_cfg.py</span> +file which sets the base URL for the logos. For example: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + IMAGE_LOGOS = '/images/' +</pre></div> + +<p> +The default value for <var>IMAGE_LOGOS</var> is <span class="file">/icons/</span>. Read the comment +in <span class="file">Defaults.py.in</span> for details. + +<p> +Configure your web server to point to the Pipermail public mailing list +archives. For example, in Apache: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + Alias /pipermail/ $varprefix/archives/public/ +</pre></div> + +<p> +where <var>$varprefix</var> is usually <var>$prefix</var> unless you've used the +<b class="programopt">--with-var-prefix</b> option to <b class="program">configure</b>. Also be +sure to configure your web server to follow symbolic links in this directory, +otherwise public Pipermail archives won't be accessible. For Apache users, +consult the <var>FollowSymLinks</var> option. + +<p> +If you're going to be supporting internationalized public archives, you will +probably want to turn off any default charset directive for the Pipermail +directory, otherwise your multilingual archive pages won't show up correctly. +Here's an example for Apache, based on the standard installation directories: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + <Directory "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public/"> + AddDefaultCharset Off + </Directory> +</pre></div> + +<p> +Now restart your web server. + +<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="4 check your installation" + href="node9.html"><img src='previous.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></a></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="Front Matter" + href="front.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 set up your" + href="mail-server.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="node9.html">4 Check your installation</a> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="front.html">Front Matter</a> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="next" href="mail-server.html">6 Set up your</a> +</div> +</div> +<hr /> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 5, 2007.</span> +</div> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/doc/mailman-install/node12.html b/doc/mailman-install/node12.html new file mode 100644 index 00000000..14461325 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/mailman-install/node12.html @@ -0,0 +1,144 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> +<html> +<head> +<link rel="STYLESHEET" href="mailman-install.css" type='text/css' /> +<link rel="first" href="mailman-install.html" title='GNU mailman - installation Manual' /> +<link rel='last' href='about.html' title='About this document...' /> +<link rel='help' href='about.html' title='About this document...' /> +<link rel="next" href="node16.html" /> +<link rel="prev" href="mail-server.html" /> +<link rel="parent" href="mail-server.html" /> +<link rel="next" href="node13.html" /> +<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> +<meta name='aesop' content='information' /> +<title>6.1 Using the Postfix mail server</title> +</head> +<body> +<div class="navigation"> +<div id='top-navigation-panel' xml:id='top-navigation-panel'> +<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> +<tr> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="6 set up your" + href="mail-server.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 set up your" + href="mail-server.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="6.1.1 integrating Postfix and" + href="node13.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="mail-server.html">6 Set up your</a> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="mail-server.html">6 Set up your</a> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="next" href="node13.html">6.1.1 Integrating Postfix and</a> +</div> +<hr /></div> +</div> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +<h2><a name="SECTION001610000000000000000"> +6.1 Using the Postfix mail server</a> +</h2> + +<p> +Mailman should work pretty much out of the box with a standard Postfix +installation.

The only effect of this is that it will take about a minute for +Postfix to notice the change to the <span class="file">aliases.db</span> file and update its +tables. + +<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 using the Postfix" + href="node12.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="6.1.2 virtual domains" + href="postfix-virtual.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="node12.html">6.1 Using the Postfix</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="postfix-virtual.html">6.1.2 Virtual domains</a> +</div> +</div> +<hr /> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 5, 2007.</span> +</div> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/doc/mailman-install/node15.html b/doc/mailman-install/node15.html new file mode 100644 index 00000000..e5f597f4 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/mailman-install/node15.html @@ -0,0 +1,111 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> +<html> +<head> +<link rel="STYLESHEET" href="mailman-install.css" type='text/css' /> +<link rel="first" href="mailman-install.html" title='GNU mailman - installation Manual' /> +<link rel='last' href='about.html' title='About this document...' /> +<link rel='help' href='about.html' title='About this document...' /> +<link rel="prev" href="postfix-virtual.html" /> +<link rel="parent" href="node12.html" /> +<link rel="next" href="node16.html" /> +<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> +<meta name='aesop' content='information' /> +<title>6.1.3 An alternative approach</title> +</head> +<body> +<div class="navigation"> +<div id='top-navigation-panel' xml:id='top-navigation-panel'> +<table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> +<tr> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="6.1.2 virtual domains" + href="postfix-virtual.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="6.2 using the Exim" + href="node16.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="postfix-virtual.html">6.1.2 Virtual domains</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="node16.html">6.2 Using the Exim</a> +</div> +<hr /></div> +</div> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +<h3><a name="SECTION001613000000000000000"> +6.1.3 An alternative approach</a> +</h3> + +<p> +Fil <span class="email">fil@rezo.net</span> has an alternative approach based on virtual maps and +regular expressions, as described at: + +<p> + +<ul> +<li>(French) <a class="url" href="http://listes.rezo.net/comment.php">http://listes.rezo.net/comment.php</a> +</li> +<li>(English) <a class="url" href="http://listes.rezo.net/how.php">http://listes.rezo.net/how.php</a> +</li> +</ul> + +<p> +This is a good (and simpler) alternative if you don't mind exposing an +additional hostname in the domain part of the addresses people will use to +contact your list.

You should follow the +basic installation steps as described earlier in this manual, substituting as +appropriate, the steps outlined in this section. + +<p> +By default, Mac OSX 10.3 'client' version does not have a fully functional +version of Postfix. Setting up a working MTA such as Postfix is beyond the +scope of this guide and you should refer to <a class="url" href="http://www.postfix.org">http://www.postfix.org</a> for +tips on getting Postfix running. An easy way to set Postfix up is to install +and run Postfix Enabler, a stand-alone tool for configuring Postfix on Mac +OSX, available from +<a class="url" href="http://www.roadstead.com/weblog/Tutorials/PostfixEnabler.html">http://www.roadstead.com/weblog/Tutorials/PostfixEnabler.html</a>. + +<p> +Likewise, Mac OSX 'client' version from 10.1 onwards includes a working Apache +webserver. This is switched on using the System Preferences control panel +under the 'Sharing tab'. A useful tool for configuring the Apache on Mac OSX +is Webmin, which can be obtained from +<a class="url" href="http://www.webmin.com">http://www.webmin.com</a>. + +<p> +Webmin can also perform configuration for other system tasks, including +Postfix, adding jobs to your crontab, adding user and groups, plus adding +startup and shutdown jobs. + +<p> +In a stock installation of OSX, the requirement for Mailman is to have Python +installed. Python is not installed by default, so it is advised that you +install the developer's tools package, which may have been provided with your +system. It can also be downloaded from the Apple developer site at +<a class="url" href="http://connect.apple.com">http://connect.apple.com</a>. Not only is the developer tools package an +essential requirement for installing Mailman, but it will come in handy at a +later date should you need other tools. The developer's tools are also know +by the name XCode tools. + +<p> +As a minimum, the Python version should be 2.2, but 2.3 is recommended. + +<p> +If you wish to add a user and group using the command line in OSX instead of +via Webmin or another GUI interface, open your terminal application and follow +the commands as indicated below - do not type the comments following the +"<tt class="samp">#</tt>" since they are just notes: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> +sudo tcsh +niutil -create / /users/mailman +niutil -createprop / /users/mailman name mailman +# Note that xxx is a free user ID number on your system +niutil -createprop / /users/mailman uid xxx +niutil -createprop / /users/mailman home /usr/local/mailman +mkdir -p /usr/local/mailman +niutil -createprop / /users/mailman shell /bin/tcsh +passwd mailman +# To prevent malicious hacking, supply a secure password here +niutil -create / /groups/mailman +niutil -createprop / /groups/mailman name mailman +# Note that xxx is a free group ID number on your system +niutil -createprop / /groups/mailman gid xxx +niutil -createprop / /groups/mailman passwd '*' +niutil -createprop / /groups/mailman users 'mailman' +chown mailman:mailman /usr/local/mailman +cd /usr/local/mailman +chmod a+rx,g+ws . +exit +su mailman +</pre></div> + +<p> +For setting up Apache on OSX to handle Mailman, the steps are almost identical +and the configuration file on a stock Mac OSX Client version is stored in the +nearly standard location of <span class="file">/etc/httpd/httpd.conf</span>. + +<p> +The <a class="ulink" href="http://www.afp548.com" + >AFP548.com</a> site has a time-saving automated startup item creator for +Mailman, which can be found at +<a class="url" href="http://www.afp548.com/Software/MailmanStartup.tar.gz">http://www.afp548.com/Software/MailmanStartup.tar.gz</a> +<p> +To install it, copy it into your <span class="file">/Library/StartupItems</span> directory.

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 5, 2007.</span> +</div> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/doc/mailman-install/previous.png b/doc/mailman-install/previous.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 00000000..497def42 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/mailman-install/previous.png diff --git a/doc/mailman-install/pyfav.png b/doc/mailman-install/pyfav.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 00000000..d2d8669d --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/mailman-install/pyfav.png diff --git a/doc/mailman-install/qmail-issues.html b/doc/mailman-install/qmail-issues.html new file mode 100644 index 00000000..25948d95 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/mailman-install/qmail-issues.html @@ -0,0 +1,309 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> +<html> +<head> +<link rel="STYLESHEET" href="mailman-install.css" type='text/css' /> +<link rel="first" href="mailman-install.html" title='GNU mailman - installation Manual' /> +<link rel='last' href='about.html' title='About this document...' /> +<link rel='help' href='about.html' title='About this document...' /> +<link rel="prev" href="node31.html" /> +<link rel="parent" href="mail-server.html" /> +<link rel="next" href="node36.html" /> +<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

You have to do + a <b class="program">touch .qmail-owner</b> in <span class="file">~mailman</span> directory to create + this alias. + +<p> +<em>NB:</em> An alternative, IMHO better solution is to <b class="program">chown + root ~mailman</b>, that will stop qmail from considering <code>mailman</code> to + be a user to whom mail can be delivered. (See ``man 8 qmail-getpw''.) + +<p> +</li> +<li>In a related issue, if you have any users with the same name as one of + your mailing lists, you will have problems if list names contain + "<tt class="samp">-</tt>" in them. Putting <span class="file">.qmail</span> redirections into the user's + home directory doesn't work because the Mailman wrappers will not get + spawned with the proper GID. The solution is to put the following lines + in the <span class="file">/var/qmail/users/assign</span> file: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + +zope-:alias:112:11:/var/qmail/alias:-:zope-: + . +</pre></div> + +<p> +where in this case the listname is e.g. <code>zope-users</code>. + +<p> +<em>NB:</em> Alternatively, you could host the lists on a virtual domain, + and use the <span class="file">/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains</span> file to put the + <code>mailman</code> user in charge of this virtual domain. + +<p> +</li> +<li><em>BN:</em>If inbound messages are delivered by another user than + <code>mailman</code>, it's necessary to allow it to access <span class="file">~mailman</span>. + Be sure that <span class="file">~mailman</span> has group writing access and setgid bit is + set. Then put the delivering user to <code>mailman</code> group, and you can + deny access to <span class="file">~mailman</span> to others. Be sure that you can do the + same with the WWW service. + +<p> +By the way the best thing is to make a virtual mail server to handle all + of the mail. <em>NB:</em> E.g. make an additional "A" DNS record for the + virtual mailserver pointing to your IP address, add the line + <code>lists.kva.hu:mailman</code> to <span class="file">/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains</span> + and a <code>lists.kva.hu</code> line to <span class="file">/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts</span> + file. Don't forget to HUP the qmail-send after modifying + ``virtualdomains''. Then every mail to lists.kva.hu will arrive to + mail.kva.hu's mailman user. + +<p> +Then make your aliases: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + .qmail => mailman@...'s letters + .qmail-owner => mailman-owner's letters +</pre></div> + +<p> +For list aliases, you can either create them manually: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + .qmail-list => posts to the 'list' list + .qmail-list-admin => posts to the 'list's owner + .qmail-list-request => requests to 'list' + etc +</pre></div> + +<p> +or for automatic list alias handling (when using the lists.kva.hu + virtual as above), see <span class="file">contrib/qmail-to-mailman.py</span> in the Mailman + source distribution. Modify the <span class="file">~mailman/.qmail-default</span> to + include: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + |preline /path/to/python /path/to/qmail-to-mailman.py +</pre></div> + +<p> +and new lists will automatically be picked up. + +<p> +</li> +<li>You have to make sure that the localhost can relay. If you start qmail + via inetd and tcpenv, you need some line the following in your + <span class="file">/etc/hosts.allow</span> file: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + tcp-env: 127. 10.205.200. : setenv RELAYCLIENT +</pre></div> + +<p> +where 10.205.200. is your IP address block. If you use tcpserver, then + you need something like the following in your <span class="file">/etc/tcp.smtp</span> file: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + 10.205.200.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" + 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" +</pre></div> + +<p> +</li> +<li><em>BN:</em> Bigger <span class="file">/var/qmail/control/concurrencyremote</span> values + work better sending outbound messages, within reason.

Make sure you have: + +<p> + +<ol> +<li>configured the web server to give permissions to + <span class="file"><var>$prefix</var>/cgi-bin</span> + +<p> +</li> +<li>restarted the web server properly. + +</li> +</ol> + +<p> +Consult your web server's documentation for instructions on how to do + check these issues. + +<p> +</li> +<li><strong>Problem:</strong> All Mailman web pages give an "Internal Server + Error". + +<p> +<strong>Solution:</strong> The likely problem is that you are using the wrong + user or group for the CGI scripts. Check your web server's log files. + If you see a line like + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + Attempt to exec script with invalid gid 51, expected 99 +</pre></div> + +<p> +you will need to reinstall Mailman, specifying the proper CGI group id, + as described in the <a name="building"></a> section. + +<p> +</li> +<li><strong>Problem:</strong> I send mail to the list, and get back mail saying the + list is not found! + +<p> +<strong>Solution:</strong> You probably didn't add the necessary aliases to the + system alias database, or you didn't properly integrate Mailman with + your mail server. Perhaps you didn't update the alias database, or your + system requires you to run <b class="program">newaliases</b> explicitly. Refer to + your server specific instructions in the <a href="mail-server.html#mail-server">6</a> section. + +<p> +</li> +<li><strong>Problem:</strong> I send mail to the list, and get back mail saying, + ``unknown mailer error''. + +<p> +<strong>Solution:</strong> The likely problem is that you are using the wrong + user or group id for the mail wrappers.

If this file is not user owned by + <code>mailman</code>, Postfix will not run the mail programs as the correct + user. + +<p> +</li> +<li><strong>Problem:</strong> I use Sendmail as my mail server, and when I send mail + to the list, I get back mail saying, ``sh: mailman not available for + sendmail programs''. + +<p> +<strong>Solution:</strong> Your system uses the Sendmail restricted shell + (smrsh). You need to configure smrsh by creating a symbolic link from + the mail wrapper (<span class="file"><var>$prefix</var>/mail/mailman</span>) to the directory + identifying executables allowed to run under smrsh. + +<p> +Some common names for this directory are <span class="file">/var/admin/sm.bin</span>, + <span class="file">/usr/admin/sm.bin</span> or <span class="file">/etc/smrsh</span>. + +<p> +Note that on Debian Linux, the system makes <span class="file">/usr/lib/sm.bin</span>, + which is wrong, you will need to create the directory + <span class="file">/usr/admin/sm.bin</span> and add the link there. Note further any + aliases <b class="program">newaliases</b> spits out will need to be adjusted to point + to the secure link to the wrapper. + +<p> +</li> +<li><strong>Problem:</strong> I messed up when I called <b class="program">configure</b>.
