hey guys our server is up and running for around three years now and postfix never made problems. three days ago I installed mailman, following this tutorial: https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-and-configure-mailman-with-postfix-on-debian-squeeze but it never worked. The mails never came to mailman. so i switched over from transport to virtual_maps, as we are using virtual domains in our environment. right now i get the following errors: when sending a mail to the list from an internal emailaddress from the same server i get: <[email protected]> (expanded from <[email protected]>): host mail.ifkuk.org[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]> User doesn't exist: [email protected] (in reply to RCPT TO command) if i send an email from gmail i get: 554 5.7.1 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied /etc/postfix/main.conf Code: GNU nano 2.2.6 File: /etc/postfix/main.cf #See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version inet_interfaces = all # Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first # line of that file to be used as the name.

Hey guys, has really NO ONE a clue? i am curious if this input is correct, as in this tutorial http://www.ungelesen.net/_/mailman-und-postfix-eine-alternative-konfiguration/ the content of the two files seems to be interchanged /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases Code: # This file is generated by Mailman, and is kept in sync with the # binary hash file aliases.db.

I hope this will help you: after editing the following file: /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman run this command: postmap /var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman after editing the following file: /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases run this command: postalias /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases Check/Edit you postfix main config: relay_recipient_maps = hash: path-to-postfix/postfix/relay_recipients transport_maps = hash: path-to-postfix/postfix/transport Create the above files: relay_recipients: Code: <nameOfList>@<domain.com> OK <nameOfList>-admin@<domain.com> OK <nameOfList>-bounces@<domain.com> OK <nameOfList>-confirm@<domain.com> OK <nameOfList>-join@<domain.com> OK <nameOfList>-leave@<domain.com> OK <nameOfList>-owner@<domain.com> OK <nameOfList>-request@<domain.com> OK <nameOfList>-subscribe@<domain.com> OK <nameOfList>-unsubscribe@<domain.com> OK transport: Code: <nameOfList>@<domain.com> mailman: <nameOfList>-bounces@<domain.com> mailman: <nameOfList>-owner@<domain.com> mailman: <nameOfList>-confirm@<domain.com> mailman: <nameOfList>-request@<domain.com> mailman: Then run the following: postmap path-to-postfix/postfix/relay_recipients , postmap path-to-postfix/postfix/transport master.cf: Code: mailman unix - n n - - pipe flags=FR user=mailman:mailman argv=path-to-mailman/mailman/postfix-to-mailman.py ${nexthop} ${user}
after there was no answer for some days and it was quite urgent, i ve moved on trough several mailinglists and finally got helped out by the main mailman 2 developer, by pointing me to this howto: http://wiki.list.org/DOC/Mailman - ...ith Mailman generated transport or other maps thank you very much! ps.: how can i mark the thread as solved?
you could add [solved] to your original posts title, well and if not ... someone who reads this should know by now you solved your issue.
to be honest, never checked if this is actually possible here - and you don't have to mark it, just let it be
