How to add mailman support after installation

Hello gurus,

When I set up my otherwise perfectly working ispconfig system, mailman was not installed, and now I find myself needing mailing list management.

I tried reinstalling ispconfig (via normal upgrade procedure), but this did not pick up mailman.

Is there any way to add the mailman support once ispconfig is already up and running?

Thanks,

Mehumaija

Cheers.

 

Thanks for the tip. I am having trouble with the instructions therein though, and I believe they contain downright mistakes where telling to edit Postfix master.cf. I believe that in the first instance, main.cf would be the right target.

After making the proposed changes, Postfix complains of errors and I had to roll back to the original configuration.

After making the Apache changes by hand, I can successfully access the mailman web interface, but I would really like to be able to manage the lists via ispconfig.

 

Let me bump this topic

I have the same problem I have installed ISPConfig
Version: 2.2.29 on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.

How can i install mailman, Just apt-get install mailman ?

 

Ow i thougt i did see mailman intergration with ISPconfig

But this is only supported in higher versions than, Wil it be supported in version 3 ?

 

Today i have installed mailman. I performed the following steps:

Installation:

root@server:/# apt-get install mailman

selected NL and EN for languages

root@server:/# newlist mailman
root@server:/# /etc/init.d/mailman start

Mailman is running, but now we need to do the hacking:

Creating the website:

- Create an new website using ispconfig. (maillist.server.org)
- Enable CGI support for this website

Add the following apache directives to the website:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/mailman/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/
Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/
Alias /images/mailman/ /usr/share/images/mailman/

This wil fix u up with a working webinterface like

http://maillist.server.org/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/

Edit the mailman configuration:

vim /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py

Change the following lines to match your ispconfig website url

# Default host for web interface of newly created MLs
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'maillist.server.org'

# The default language for this server.
DEFAULT_SERVER_LANGUAGE = 'nl'

This because i like dutch to be the default language

# Default domain for email addresses of newly created MLs
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'maillist.server.org'


Now restart mailman:
root@server:/# /etc/init.d/mailman restart

Delete the mailman maillist

root@server:/# rmlist -a mailman

Recreate the mailman maillist

root@server:/# newlist mailman

If al goes well the following should work ok.

http://maillist.server.org/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/mailman
