It has been tested with various Postfix versions up to and +including Postfix 2.1.5. + +<p> +In order to support Mailman's optional VERP delivery, you will want to disable +<code>luser_relay</code> (the default) and you will want to set +<code>recipient_delimiter</code> for extended address semantics. You should comment +out any <code>luser_relay</code> value in your <span class="file">main.cf</span> and just go with the +defaults. Also, add this to your <span class="file">main.cf</span> file: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + recipient_delimiter = + +</pre></div> + +<p> +Using "<tt class="samp">+</tt>" as the delimiter works well with the default values for +<var>VERP_FORMAT</var> and <var>VERP_REGEXP</var> in <span class="file">Defaults.py</span>. + +<p> +When attempting to deliver a message to a non-existent local address, Postfix +may return a 450 error code. Since this is a transient error code, Mailman +will continue to attempt to deliver the message for +<var>DELIVERY_RETRY_PERIOD</var> - 5 days by default. You might want to set +Postfix up so that it returns permanent error codes for non-existent local +users by adding the following to your <span class="file">main.cf</span> file: + +<p> +<div class="verbatim"><pre> + unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 +</pre></div> + +<p> +Finally, if you are using Postfix-style virtual domains, read the section on +virtual domain support below. + +<p> + +<p><br /></p><hr class='online-navigation' /> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<!--Table of Child-Links--> +<a name="CHILD_LINKS"><strong>Subsections</strong></a> + +<ul class="ChildLinks"> +<li><a href="node13.html">6.1.1 Integrating Postfix and Mailman</a> +<li><a href="postfix-virtual.html">6.1.2 Virtual domains</a> +<li><a href="node15.html">6.1.3 An alternative approach</a> +</ul> +<!--End of Table of Child-Links--> +</div> + +<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 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> +</div> +<hr /> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 5, 2007.</span> +</div> +<!--End of Navigation Panel--> + +</body> +</html> |
