| #pragma page-filename DOC/versions/786614 == Assumption == The following has been tested using the following configuration * Mailman 2.1.9 * Sendmail 8.13.1 * CentOS release 4.5 (Final) * Attached mm-handler (most noticeable change is writing logs to syslog) * You are going to be using the server only for mailing lists and not for delivery to local addresses == Method == For the purpose of this document the server domain shall be called mailman.foo.com and it is a 'A' name entry in the DNS. === virtusertable === add the following in your /etc/mail/virtusertable <<BR>> {{{#!wiki caution root@mailman.foo.bar admin@foo.bar }}} this shall redirect any email to root on the server to be redirected to the email admin on the mail server. <<BR>><<BR>><<BR>> === local.m4 === local mailer is used by sendmail to deliver mails; however since we are not using the server to host any emails we don't need it. We can change it to pass all the mails to mm-handler. Edit /usr/share/sendmail-cf/mailer/local.m4 <<BR>> {{{#!wiki caution at the end of the file look for Mlocal, ... and replace it with Mlocal, P=/etc/mail/mm-handler, F=rDFMhlqSu, S=EnvFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, U=mailman:mail, A=mm-handler $h -j $j -d $u }}} {{{#!wiki warning Make sure that there is a tab after Mlocal, and not spaces. Otherwise it might not work }}} {{{#!wiki warning This Mlocal is modified so that sendmail passes the hostname using -j parameter. Also a -d parameter has been added before $u. }}} 1. This assumes that mm-handler is installed in /etc/mail/mm-handler. You change it to the location where mm-handler is installed/copied. 1. U=mailman:mail shall run mm-handler as user:mailman, group:mail. Change it to one that your mailman installation expects. === mm-handler === Copy the file into /etc/mail/ directory (or where ever your installation of sendmail is). {{{#!wiki caution Make sure that the path in your local.m4 is the same as the one where you are copying the mm-handler file }}} {{{ chmod ug+x mm-handler }}} This shall make the script executable by user and group. {{{ chown root:mail mm-handler This changes the group to mail. However you should make it that specified in local.m4. }}} Now edit mm-hanlder and make sure that. * perl path is correct. * $MMWRAPPER is referring to right mailman configuration. * $MMLISTDIR is referring to the correct directory. * $SEND_MAIL is referring to correct program. {{{#!wiki warning $SEND_MAIL is specific to the mm-handler attached to this document }}} After configuring the variables in mm-handler run it on the console. This should generate log entries in your syslog. In this case look for /var/log/maillog or /var/log/messages or wherever your system is configured to log these subsystems (refer to syslog.conf). ---- * [[DOC/Integrating Mailman with Sendmail - Method 2|Integrating Mailman with Sendmail - Method 2]] |
