-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.
