-Using Exim and Mailman Together
-===============================
-
-[This is derived from Nigel Metheringham's "HOWTO - Using Exim and
- Mailman together", which covers Mailman 2.0.x and Exim 3. It
- has been updated to cover Mailman 2.1 and Exim 4. The original
- document is here: http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman.html]
-
-
-Mailman configuration
----------------------
-
-There is no Mailman configuration needed other than the standard
-options detailed in the Mailman install documentation. The Exim
-configuration is transparent to Mailman. The user and group settings
-for Mailman must match those in the config fragments given below.
-
-
-Exim configuration
-------------------
-
-The Exim configuration is built so that a list created within Mailman
-automatically appears to Exim without the need for defining any
-additional aliases.
-
-The drawback of this configuration is that it will work poorly on
-systems supporting lists in several different mail domains. While
-Mailman handles virtual domains, it does not yet support having two
-distinct lists with the same name in different virtual domains, using
-the same Mailman installation. This will eventually change. (But see
-below for a variation on this scheme that should accommodate virtual
-domains better.)
-
-The configuration file excerpts below are for use in an already
-functional Exim configuration, which accepts mail for the domain in
-which the list resides. If this domain is separate from the others
-handled by your Exim configuration, then you'll need to:
-
- * add the list domain, "my.list.domain" to local_domains
-
- * add a "domains=my.list.domain" option to the director
- (router) for the list
-
- * (optional) exclude that domain from your other directors (routers)
-
-[Note: the instructions in this document should work with either Exim 3
-or Exim 4. In Exim 3, you must have a 'local_domains' configuration
-setting; in Exim 4, you most likely have a 'local_domains' domainlist.
-If you don't, you probably know what you're doing and can adjust
-accordingly. Similarly, in Exim 4 the concept of "directors" has
-disappeared -- there are only routers now. So if you're using Exim 4,
-whenever this document says "director", read "router".]
-
-Whether you are using Exim 3 or Exim 4, you will need to add some macros
-to the main section of your Exim config file. You will also need to
-define one new transport. With Exim 3, you'll need to add a new
-director; with Exim 4, a new router plays the same role.
-
-Finally, the configuration supplied here should allow co-habiting
-Mailman 2.0 and 2.1 installations, with the proviso that you'll probably
-want to use "mm21" in place of "mailman" -- e.g., MM21_HOME,
-mm21_transport, etc.
-
-
-Main configuration settings
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-First, you need to add some macros to the top of your Exim config file.
-These just make the director (router) and transport below a bit
-cleaner. Obviously, you'll need to edit these based on how you
-configured and installed Mailman.
-
- # Home dir for your Mailman installation -- aka Mailman's prefix
- # directory.
- MAILMAN_HOME=/usr/local/mailman
- MAILMAN_WRAP=MAILMAN_HOME/mail/mailman
-
- # User and group for Mailman, should match your --with-mail-gid
- # switch to Mailman's configure script.
- MAILMAN_USER=mailman
- MAILMAN_GROUP=mailman
-
-
-Transport for Exim 3
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Add this to the transports section of your Exim config file,
-i.e. somewhere between the first and second "end" line:
-
- mailman_transport:
- driver = pipe
- command = MAILMAN_WRAP \
- '${if def:local_part_suffix \
- {${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \
- {post}}' \
- $local_part
- current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
- home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
- user = MAILMAN_USER
- group = MAILMAN_GROUP
-
-
-Director for Exim 3
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-If you're using Exim 3, you'll need to add the following director to
-your config file (directors go between the second and third "end"
-lines). Also, don't forget that order matters -- e.g. you can make
-Mailman lists take precedence over system aliases by putting this
-director in front of your aliasfile director, or vice-versa.
-
- # Handle all addresses related to a list 'foo': the posting address.
- # Automatically detects list existence by looking
- # for lists/$local_part/config.pck under MAILMAN_HOME.
- mailman_director:
- driver = smartuser
- require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/$local_part/config.pck
- suffix_optional
- suffix = -bounces : -bounces+* : \
- -confirm+* : -join : -leave : \
- -owner : -request : -admin
- transport = mailman_transport
-
-
-Router for Exim 4
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-In Exim 4, there's no such thing as directors -- you need to add a new
-router instead. Also, the canonical order of the configuration file was
-changed so routers come before transports, so the router for Exim 4
-comes first here. Put this router somewhere after the "begin routers"
-line of your config file, and remember that order matters.
-
- mailman_router:
- driver = accept
- require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/$local_part/config.pck
- local_part_suffix_optional
- local_part_suffix = -bounces : -bounces+* : \
- -confirm+* : -join : -leave : \
- -owner : -request : -admin
- transport = mailman_transport
-
-
-Transports for Exim 4
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The transport for Exim 4 is the same as for Exim 3; just copy the
-transport given above to somewhere under the "begin transports" line of
-your Exim config file.
-
-
-Notes
------
-
-Exim should be configured to allow reasonable volume -- e.g. don't set
-max_recipients down to a silly value -- and with normal degrees of
-security -- specifically, be sure to allow relaying from 127.0.0.1, but
-pretty much nothing else. Parallel deliveries and other tweaks can also
-be used if you like; experiment with your setup to see what works.
-Delay warning messages should be switched off or configured to only
-happen for non-list mail, unless you like receiving tons of mail when
-some random host is down.
-
-
-Problems
---------
-
- * Mailman will send as many MAIL FROM/RCPT TO as it needs. It may result
- in more than 10 or 100 messages sent in one connection, which will exceed
- the default value of Exim's smtp_accept_queue_per_connection
- This is bad because it will cause Exim to switch into queue mode and
- severely delay delivery of your list messages.
- The way to fix this is to set mailman's SMTP_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_CONNECTION
- (in ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py) to a smaller value than Exim's
- smtp_accept_queue_per_connection
-
- * Mailman should ignore Exim delay warning messages, even though
- Exim should never send this to list messages. Mailman 2.1's
- general bounce detection and VERP support should greatly improve
- the bounce detector's hit rates.
-
- * List existence is determined by the existence of a config.pck file
- for a list. If you delete lists by foul means, be aware of this.
-
- * If you are getting Exim or Mailman complaining about user ids when
- you send mail to a list, check that the MAILMAN_USER and
- MAILMAN_GROUP match those of Mailman itself (i.e. what were used
- in the configure script). Also make sure you do not have aliases
- in the main alias file for the list.
-
-
-Receiver Verification
----------------------
-
-Exim's receiver verification feature is very useful -- it lets Exim
-reject unrouteable addresses at SMTP time. However, this is most useful
-for externally-originating mail that is addressed to mail in one of your
-local domains. For Mailman list traffic, mail originates on your
-server, and is addressed to random external domains that are not under
-your control. Furthermore, each message is addressed to many recipients
--- up to 500 if you use Mailman's default configuration and don't tweak
-SMTP_MAX_RCPTS.
-
-Doing receiver verification on Mailman list traffic is a recipe for
-trouble. In particular, Exim will attempt to route every recipient
-addresses in outgoing Mailman list posts. Even though this requires
-nothing more than a few DNS lookups for each address, it can still
-introduce significant delays. Therefore, you should disable recipient
-verification for Mailman traffic.
-
-Under Exim 3, put this in your main configuration section:
-
- receiver_verify_hosts = !127.0.0.1
-
-Under Exim 4, this is probably already taken care of for you by the
-default recipient verification ACL statement (in the "RCPT TO" ACL):
-
- accept domains = +local_domains
- endpass
- message = unknown user
- verify = recipient
-
-which only does recipient verification on addresses in your domain.
-(That's not exactly the same as doing recipient verification only on
-messages coming from non-127.0.0.1 hosts, but it should do the trick for
-Mailman.)
-
-
-SMTP Callback
--------------
-
-Exim's SMTP callback feature is an even more powerful way to detect
-bogus sender addresses than normal sender verification. Unfortunately,
-lots of servers send bounce messages with a bogus address in the header,
-and there are plenty that send bounces with bogus envelope senders
-(even though they're supposed to just use an empty envelope sender for
-bounces).
-
-In order to ensure that Mailman can disable/remove bouncing addresses,
-you generally want to receive bounces for Mailman lists, even if those
-bounces are themselves not bounceable. Thus, you might want to disable
-SMTP callback on bounce messages.
-
-With Exim 4, you can accomplish this using something like the following
-in your "RCPT TO" ACL:
-
- # Accept bounces to lists even if callbacks or other checks would fail
- warn message = X-WhitelistedRCPT-nohdrfromcallback: Yes
- condition = \
- ${if and {{match{$local_part}{(.*)-bounces\+.*}} \
- {exists {MAILMAN_HOME/lists/$1/config.pck}}} \
- {yes}{no}}
- {yes}{no}}
-
- accept condition = \
- ${if and {{match{$local_part}{(.*)-bounces\+.*}} \
- {exists {MAILMAN_HOME/lists/$1/config.pck}}} \
- {yes}{no}}
- {yes}{no}}
-
- # Now, check sender address with SMTP callback.
- deny !verify = sender/callout=90s
-
-If you also do SMTP callbacks on header addresses, you'll want something
-like this in your "DATA" ACL:
-
- deny !condition = $header_X-WhitelistedRCPT-nohdrfromcallback:
- !verify = header_sender/callout=90s
-
-
-Doing VERP with Exim and Mailman
---------------------------------
-
-VERP will send one email, with a separate envelope sender (return path),
-for each of your subscribers -- read the information in
-~mailman/Mailman/Default.py for the options that start with VERP. In a
-nutshell, all you need to do to enable VERP with Exim is to add these
-lines to ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py:
-
- VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS = 1
- VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES = 1
- VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1
- VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = 1
-
-(The director (router) above is smart enough to deal with VERP bounces.)
-
-
-Virtual Domains
----------------
-
-One approach to handling virtual domains is to use a separate Mailman
-installation for each virtual domain. (Currently, this is the only way
-to have lists with the same name in different virtual domains handled by
-the same machine.)
-
-In this case, the MAILMAN_HOME and MAILMAN_WRAP macros are useless --
-you can remove them. Change your director (router) to something like
-this:
-
- require_files = /virtual/${domain}/mailman/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.pck
-
-and change your transport like this:
-
- command = /virtual/${domain}/mailman/mail/mailman \
- ${if def:local_part_suffix \
- {${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}}
- {post}} \
- $local_part
- current_directory = /virtual/${domain}/mailman
- home_directory = /virtual/${domain}/mailman
-
-
-List Verification
------------------
-
-This is how a set of address tests for the Exim lists look on a working
-system. The list in question is quixote-users@mems-exchange.org, and
-these commands were run on the mems-exchange.org mail server ("% "
-indicates the Unix shell prompt):
-
- % exim -bt quixote-users
- quixote-users@mems-exchange.org
- router = mailman_main_router, transport = mailman_transport
-
- % exim -bt quixote-users-request
- quixote-users-request@mems-exchange.org
- router = mailman_router, transport = mailman_transport
-
- % exim -bt quixote-users-bounces
- quixote-users-bounces@mems-exchange.org
- router = mailman_router, transport = mailman_transport
-
- % exim -bt quixote-users-bounces+luser=example.com
- quixote-users-bounces+luser=example.com@mems-exchange.org
- router = mailman_router, transport = mailman_transport
-
-If your "exim -bt" output looks something like this, that's a start: at
-least it means Exim will pass the right messages to the right Mailman
-commands. It by no means guarantees that your Exim/Mailman installation
-is functioning perfectly, though!

+\subsubsection{Doing VERP with Exim and Mailman}
+
+VERP will send one email, with a separate envelope sender (return path), for
+each of your subscribers -- read the information in
+\file{\var{\$prefix}/Mailman/Default.py} for the options that start with VERP.
+In a nutshell, all you need to do to enable VERP with Exim is to add these lines to \file{\var{\$prefix}/Mailman/mm_cfg.py}:

+\begin{verbatim}
+ VERP_PASSWORD_REMINDERS = Yes
+ VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES = Yes
+ VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = Yes

+\end{verbatim}
+
+(The director (router) above is smart enough to deal with VERP bounces.)
+
+\subsubsection{Virtual Domains}
+
+One approach to handling virtual domains is to use a separate Mailman
+installation for each virtual domain. Currently, this is the only way to have
+lists with the same name in different virtual domains handled by the same
+machine.
+
+In this case, the \var{MAILMAN_HOME} and \var{MAILMAN_WRAP} macros are useless
+-- you can remove them. Change your director (router) to something like this:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ require_files = /virtual/${domain}/mailman/lists/${lc:$local_part}/config.pck
+\end{verbatim}
+% $ - emacs turd
+
+and change your transport like this:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ command = /virtual/${domain}/mailman/mail/mailman \
+ ${if def:local_part_suffix \
+ {${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}}
+ {post}} \
+ $local_part
+ current_directory = /virtual/${domain}/mailman

+\subsubsection{List Verification}
+
+This is how a set of address tests for the Exim lists look on a working
+system. The list in question is \email{quixote-users@mems-exchange.org}, and
+these commands were run on the \code{mems-exchange.org} mail server ("% "
+indicates the Unix shell prompt):
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ % exim -bt quixote-users
+ quixote-users@mems-exchange.org
+ router = mailman_main_router, transport = mailman_transport
+
+ % exim -bt quixote-users-request
+ quixote-users-request@mems-exchange.org
+ router = mailman_router, transport = mailman_transport
+
+ % exim -bt quixote-users-bounces
+ quixote-users-bounces@mems-exchange.org
+ router = mailman_router, transport = mailman_transport
+
+ % exim -bt quixote-users-bounces+luser=example.com
+ quixote-users-bounces+luser=example.com@mems-exchange.org
+ router = mailman_router, transport = mailman_transport
+\end{verbatim}
+
+If your \program{exim -bt} output looks something like this, that's a start:
+at least it means Exim will pass the right messages to the right Mailman
+commands. It by no means guarantees that your Exim/Mailman installation is
+functioning perfectly, though!
