# Copyright 1999-2004 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 Follow these instructions to finish setting up mailman. This file and the original ebuild were tweaked by me <lamer@gentoo.org> but were graciously submitted by Joby Walker (YOU RULE!) 2003 Jul 09: updated by Jesus Perez and re-tweaked by me <raker@gentoo.org> for 2.1.x. Please view the documentation on Mailman at: http://www.list.org/ This documentation assumes you're using the default gentoo path (/usr/lib/mailman/), if you've changed it with MAILMAN_PREFIX, adjust them accordingly. 1) If this is your first time installing mailman, after your "emerge mailman", you need to add -D MAILMAN to /etc/conf.d/apache or /etc/conf.d/apache2 and restart apache. 2) In your /etc/conf.d/apache (for apache 1.x) or /etc/conf.d/apache2 (for apache 2.x) file add the additional option to the APACHE_OPTS or APACHE2_OPTS variable: -D MAILMAN 3) Make sure mailman is a part of the cron group 4) This must be done as user mailman: su - mailman Add the cron jobs: cd cron crontab crontab.in cd .. Create the site password: bin/mmsitepass and main list: bin/newlist mailman 5) Change back to root: exit (Postfix users: read the notes at the end of this file before you continue) Add this to /etc/mail/aliases (and see point 9 for notes): mailman: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman" mailman-admin: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin mailman" mailman-bounces: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces mailman" mailman-confirm: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm mailman" mailman-join: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join mailman" mailman-leave: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave mailman" mailman-owner: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman" mailman-request: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman" mailman-subscribe: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe mailman" mailman-unsubscribe: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe mailman" For courier, the aliases have to go to /etc/courier/aliases and you have to skip the quotes. Run newaliases (only if you use sendmail). newaliases 6) Start the mailman daemon: /etc/init.d/mailman start and add it to default runlevel (optional but recommended): rc-update add mailman default 7) For each list created (either with web interface or with bin/newlist) this must be added to /etc/mail/aliases (see smrsh notes below) replace <list-name> with the name of the list: <list-name>: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post <list-name>" <list-name>-admin: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin <list-name>" <list-name>-bounces: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces <list-name>" <list-name>-confirm: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm <list-name>" <list-name>-join: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join <list-name>" <list-name>-leave: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave <list-name>" <list-name>-owner: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner <list-name>" <list-name>-request: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request <list-name>" <list-name>-subscribe: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe <list-name>" <list-name>-unsubscribe: "|/usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe <list-name>" For courier, the aliases have to go to /etc/courier/aliases and you have to skip the quotes. Run newaliases: newaliases smrsh notes ----------- (if you use sendmail, you are surely using srmsh) you must note that sendmail won't run any program outside of EBINDIR. I tried to change EBINDIR using,define(`confEBINDIR', `/usr/lib/mailman/mail')dnl in sendmail.mc but it didn't work, so mailman must be placed in EBINDIR, which in Gentoo is /usr/adm/sm.bin, so you must run as root: ln -s /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman /usr/adm/sm.bin/mailman And the lines in /etc/mail/aliases which refer to /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman must be changed to mailman: <list-name>: "|mailman post <list-name>" <list-name>-admin: "|mailman admin <list-name>" <list-name>-bounces: "|mailman bounces <list-name>" <list-name>-confirm: "|mailman confirm <list-name>" <list-name>-join: "|mailman join <list-name>" <list-name>-leave: "|mailman leave <list-name>" <list-name>-owner: "|mailman owner <list-name>" <list-name>-request: "|mailman request <list-name>" <list-name>-subscribe: "|mailman subscribe <list-name>" <list-name>-unsubscribe: "|mailman unsubscribe <list-name>" exim notes ---------- You can write an exim stanza for the router and transport that looks something like (Derived from, and in part taken from cpanel): mailman_virtual_router: driver = accept require_files = /var/lib/mailman/lists/${lc::$local_part}/config.pck local_part_suffix_optional local_part_suffix = -admin : \ -bounces : -bounces+* : \ -confirm : -confirm+* : \ -join : -leave : \ -owner : -request : \ -subscribe : -unsubscribe transport = mailman_virtual_transport mailman_virtual_transport: driver = pipe command = /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman \ '${if def:local_part_suffix \ {${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \ {post}}' \ ${lc:$local_part} current_directory = /usr/lib/mailman home_directory = /usr/lib/mailman user = mailman group = mailman Note the double colon in the require files. See http://wiki.exim.org/FAQ/General_Debugging/Q0060 for more information. This should be modified if you're using the vhosts USE flag, specifically you need to modify the location of the config.pck file, to be ${lc::$local_part}-${lc::$domain} instead of simply ${lc::$local_part}, and for the transport you need to change the last part of the command in the same fashion. Other Helpful things to know... ------------------------------- run "bin/check_perms -f" from the root mailman directory (/usr/lib/mailman) to check and fix permission problems. The INSTALL file is located in /usr/share/doc/mailman-$VERSION/ Postfix notes ------------- If you're using Postfix, don't manually change your /etc/mail/aliases file, as described above. Instead, follow these instructions: http://list.org/mailman-install/node13.html This will set up Mailman and Postfix to automatically generate the new aliases when you create new lists. It will also make sure that Postfix uses the correct group ID when it's talking to Mailman, otherwise you will get security errors from Mailman.
