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
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the web icons:
|
||||
cp /usr/lib/mailman/icons/* /var/www/localhost/icons
|
||||
|
||||
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>"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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.
