We'll svn external the latter to get that back into the release, but I really don't want to maintain multiple copies of the web pages. --- admin/www/mailman-install/node12.html | 143 ---------------------------------- 1 file changed, 143 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 admin/www/mailman-install/node12.html (limited to 'admin/www/mailman-install/node12.html') diff --git a/admin/www/mailman-install/node12.html b/admin/www/mailman-install/node12.html deleted file mode 100644 index e74ccf92..00000000 --- a/admin/www/mailman-install/node12.html +++ /dev/null @@ -1,143 +0,0 @@ - - - - - - - - - - - - -6.1 Using the Postfix mail server - - - - - -

-6.1 Using the Postfix mail server -

- -

-Mailman should work pretty much out of the box with a standard Postfix -installation. It has been tested with various Postfix versions up to and -including Postfix 2.1.5. - -

-In order to support Mailman's optional VERP delivery, you will want to disable -luser_relay (the default) and you will want to set -recipient_delimiter for extended address semantics. You should comment -out any luser_relay value in your main.cf and just go with the -defaults. Also, add this to your main.cf file: - -

-    recipient_delimiter = +
-

- -

-Using "+" as the delimiter works well with the default values for -VERP_FORMAT and VERP_REGEXP in Defaults.py. - -

-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 -DELIVERY_RETRY_PERIOD - 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 main.cf file: - -

-    unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
-

- -

-Finally, if you are using Postfix-style virtual domains, read the section on -virtual domain support below. - -
