postfix 2.0

current setup: Mailman 2.1, OS X Server 10.2.3, Postfix 1.1.11

I've followed the instructions in README.POSTFIX for integrating 
Postfix with Mailman, and everything seems to be working perfectly. 
Anything I need to look out for in upgrading Postfix to 2.0.1? Anything 
that needs to be changed in either MM or Postfix's main.cf? Any 
incompatibilities between Mailman/mta/postfix.py (or any other modules 
for that matter) and postfix 2.0.1?

thanks!

I've had zero problems after upgrading to Postfix 2.0.x.  Nothing on
the Mailman end needed to be changed.

Re: Additional Mailman 2.1 info

This is pretty much prima facia evidence that you are missing some
Python modules.  You can either trace them down, or do what i did -
install python from source.  

Good Luck - Jon Carnes

Re: All addresses are being bounced...

This is indicative of your mailserver not listening on localhost
(127.0.0.1) which is definitive of Red Hat's default Sendmail install.

Read FAQ 3.14 for help in troubleshooting this problem.

Links for AOHell users?


Hi all,

I was asked by a customer today about the footer links on one of their lists
and whether the links could be made to work with AOL's MUA (if it can be
called an MUA).  Any halfway decent MUA (and even MS OE) will allow a user
to click on a link and open it in a browser, yet AOL doesn't work like this
(at least not the versions that some of this customer's list members use).

I already have personalization turned on for the list so I was wondering
what it would take to check if user_address was an aol address and then
change the link to add the <a href> required by AOL's brain dead MUA.  I'd
rather do this than change the links for everyone since there are
(thankfully) relatively few AOL users.

Has anyone else had to deal with this before (or better still, coded it :) ?
If so, any pointers?

I realize that what they should be told is, sorry, that's what you get for
using an ISP that is 'so easy to use' (and the BOFH in me so badly wants to
tell them!) but that's not always what customers want to hear.  So I figure
I'll ask quick before I either attempt to do this myself or tell my customer
to tell the AOL users to deal with the effects of their bad choice in ISP's.

Thanks!

bug in creating list via web-admin

Hey all,
I was creating a testlist via the web-admin thingy, when I got the 
following error after hitting the "create list" submit button. No message 
was sent to me about the new list, even though I requested it. I 
cross-tested this by using the bin/newlist command, which was successful 
(no errors) and sent me a message regarding the new list.

This seems to be a python permissions problem from the last line of the 
output. I'm running postfix on a redhat 7.3 box.

I'm more than comfortable adding all the lists via command line, but since 
this come up I guess someone else should know about it.

Kind Regards,
Keith Mastin

squirrelmail sends mailman message as attachment

Hey all,

I'm running mailman-2.1 on a redhat 7.3 box with postfix-1.1.7-2, 
courier-imap-1.6.2-1.7.3, squirrelmail-1.2.10, php-4.1.2-7.3.6, and 
python2-2.2.2-3.7.3

When I send a message to the mailman list from SM, the test of the message 
is in an attachment, not in the text area of the message.

When I send a message to the list from pine-4.44-7.73.0, the test of the 
message shows in the text area of the message.

This is a brand new mailman deployment with thousands of potential users 
and an invite to join the list already sent to a huge announce list, so 
getting this fixed is critical. I'm curious about the server-side 
configuration for this list and what the problem could be.

Any information needed to debug will be sent on request.

Thanks

Kindest Regards,
Keith Mastin

Your right.  Check the permissions on /web/mlib/data/mailman/data/aliases
See if it can be written by whatever user you specified in --with-cgi-gid=
at compile time (the user the cgi scripts run as).

Partial Restriction


Hi All,

Recently Richard Barrett had posted a response to someone
about partially restricting the list. The regular expression
he had given restricts the members to the domain your.domain.com.

I want to expand this a little. I want to reject all subscription
requests (as well as postings) from users who donot fall into
one of the two possible patterns:

	user <at> your.domain.com

	user <at> subdomain.your.domain.com

Is such a thing possible ? Please help me out in constructing
a regular expression for this check. I am new to Python RE and
so I have been struggling with this for a couple of days now.

Thanks for your time.

Check the archives (and maybe the FAQ) about this.  This has been discussed
recently.

Check this patch.  It might be what your looking for.  It trys to keep the
message as plain-text.
