mailman and subdomain does not work

Hi friends,

I have two sites one www.cayambelibre.com running elgg working ok. I created another one running mailman listas.cayambelibre.com. I created a mailing list call [email protected] using ispconfig 3.0.4.2

I can configure the mailing list, I can add users to the mailing list. The users would receive the notifications that they are welcome to the list. The problem comes when I try to send a mail. [email protected] is converted to [email protected] and I receive a mail calling that error:

In the mail log I get this at the moment I send the mail. I don't see any "[email protected]" or "[email protected]" in the logs:

Code:

So I try to create a mailling list using mailman interface, there I get an unknown virtual host error.

I created the domain in the mailserver and I added the mailling list to that domain.

Hope I can some help from you guys.

Best regards,

Rafael

 

I guess that postconf -n output would be useful:

BTW I don't how important is this, but the virtual listas.cayambelibre.com created for apache does not have a www subdomain

Rafael

 

I guess the error has nothing to do with subdomain as I try with a different domain. Here my bounce mail:

So it has to do with virtual mailbox table I guess. Is this a known bug for the version of ISP config I am using?

Regards,

Rafael

 

Yes I created the domain listas.cayambelibre.com in ispconfig mailserver configuration. It is needed to create a mailing list in ispconfig web interface.

Regards,


Rafael

 

Did you install mailman before ISPConfig or afterwards?

 

Before for testing and then I purged mailman from my debian installation. Perhaps there are some configuration files out there that need to be deleted. I can purge and reinstall mailman again if you suggest that.

Thank you very much.

Rafael

 

I suggest that (now that mailman is installed) you update ISPConfig to the latrst version. This will also reconfigure mailman.

 

Well, I just updated to the latest version, but I keep having the same issue.

I got this messages in the update:

Code:

Restarting Mailman master qrunner: mailmanctlWaiting...done.

But that is a message in Apache and has nothing to do with postfix or mailman and the webserver works ok.

Rafael

 

What's the output of

Code:

grep prueba /etc/passwd

?

 

nothing. .

 

That's good - I was thinking that you have a system user with that name, but that's not the case.

Do [email protected] and/or [email protected] exist in your ISPConfig database?

 

In the table mail_mailinglist I have the values:

domain: listas.cayambelibre.com
listname: prueba


regards,

Rafael

 

But the email accounts [email protected] and/or [email protected] do not exist?

 

No I don't. However I have in another server the domain @cayambelibre.com that is planned to be migrated to ispconfig soon. The domain @listas.cayambelibre.com is hosted in the ispconfig server and the dns are working ok.

regards,

Rafael

 

Do the accounts exist on the other server, and do the MX records for both domains point to the other server?

 

cayambelibre.com in one server and listas.cayambelibre.com is in ISP config server. Both MX are configured correctly and the mailing list was working on the same server before I installed ISPconfig.

Just to refresh on of the previous post in this thread. I use to have mailman for testing on this same server before using ISPconfig and it was working ok. Then I insatlled ISP config, I purged mailman and installed again. I suspect something was left on and maybe it was not completly purged. How can I uninstall completly mailman and then configure it with ispconfig. I see no one else is having this issue so maybe it was something left between this to installs.

Regards,

Rafael

 

BTW, I do have the need to run the main mail server on one server that I don't manage and mailman in my server with a subdomain like lists.domain.com. Have don that before, but now with ISP config.

Thanks for your help Falko.

Regards,

Rafael

 

Run

Code:

apt-get purge mailman

Then

Code:

apt-get install mailman

and update ISPConfig - download the latest ISPConfig, unpack it, go to the install folder and run

Code:

php update.php

 

Sorry for the delay. After purgin mailman I got this message:

Code:

So as far I know bye now I have no mailman in my server. Now lets install it.

I already had the latest version of ispconfig installed. So I run the update sript to reconfigure the services:

Mailman does not start

Code:

/etc/init.d/mailman restart

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/run/mailman/mailman.pid'
Is qrunner even running?
Site list is missing: mailman
 failed!

So I repeat the prosudre, purge mailman, delete /var/lib/mailman and install it again. This time I created the mailman list:

Code:

newlist mailman
Enter the email of the person running the list: [email protected]
Initial mailman password: 
To finish creating your mailing list, you must edit your /etc/aliases (or
equivalent) file by adding the following lines, and possibly running the
`newaliases' program:

## mailman mailing list
mailman:              "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman"
mailman-admin:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin mailman"
mailman-bounces:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces mailman"
mailman-confirm:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm mailman"
mailman-join:         "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join mailman"
mailman-leave:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave mailman"
mailman-owner:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman"
mailman-request:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman"
mailman-subscribe:    "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe mailman"
mailman-unsubscribe:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe mailman"

Hit enter to notify mailman owner...

I am not going to edit the alias, because as far as I know ispconfig does that job. So I run update.php again.

Now I only get some warnings related to apache:

Code:

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/run/mailman/mailman.pid'
Is qrunner even running?

Now I can start mailman. Time to test. I create the same mailing list as before and add some mails. Send the first mail and I get the mail bounce again . What could I possible be doing wrong?
