Here are some pointers that have been -collected on getting Mailman to run on MacOSX. - -<P> - -<UL> -<LI>Jaguar (MacOSX 10.2) comes with Python 2.2. While this isn't the very - latest stable version of Python, it ought to be sufficient to run - Mailman 2.1. - -<P> -</LI> -<LI>David B. O'Donnell has a web page describing his configuration of - Mailman 2.0.13 and Postfix on MacOSX Server. - -<P> -<a class="url" href="http://www.afp548.com/Articles/mail/python-mailman.html">http://www.afp548.com/Articles/mail/python-mailman.html</a> -<P> -</LI> -<LI>Kathleen Webb posted her experiences in getting Mailman running on - Jaguar using Sendmail. - -<P> -<a class="url" href="http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2002-October/022944.html">http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2002-October/022944.html</a> -<P> -</LI> -<LI>Panther server (MacOSX 10.3) comes with Mailman; Your operating system - should contain documentation that will help you, and Apple has a tech - document about a problem you might encounter running Mailman on Mac OS X - Server 10.3: - -<P> -<a class="url" href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107889">http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107889</a> -</LI> -</UL> - -<P> -Terry Allen provides the following detailed instructions on running Mailman on -the 'client' version of OSX, or in earlier versions of OSX: - -<P> -Mac OSX 10.3 and onwards has the basics for a successful Mailman installation. -Users of earlier versions of Mac OSX contains Sendmail and those users should -look at the Sendmail installation section for tips. 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.
