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.) + +<p> +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: + +<p> + +<ul> +<li>add the list domain, ``my.list.domain'' to <var>local_domains</var> + +<p> +</li> +<li>add a ``domains=my.list.domain'' option to the director (router) for the + list + +<p> +</li> +<li>(optional) exclude that domain from your other directors (routers) +</li> +</ul> + +<p> +<div class="note"><b class="label">Note:</b> + +The instructions in this document should work with either Exim 3 or Exim 4. +In Exim 3, you must have a <var>local_domains</var> configuration setting; in Exim +4, you most likely have a <var>local_domains</var> 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''. +</div> + +<p> +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. + +<p> +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 +<code>mm21</code> in place of <code>mailman</code> - e.g., <var>MM21_HOME</var>, +<var>mm21_transport</var>, etc. + +<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="6.2 using the Exim" + href="node16.html"><img src='previous.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></a></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="6.2 using the Exim" + href="node16.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="6.2.2 main configuration settings" + href="node18.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="node16.html">6.2 Using the Exim</a> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="node16.html">6.2 Using the Exim</a> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="next" href="node18.html">6.2.2 Main configuration settings</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> |
