ISPConfig With Mailman Guide

[calivent]

trying to configure mailman with ISPConfig 3, but failed, also in fear of spoiling the performance of ISPConfig, I hope someone can guide me, then google search for other guides, but nothing related ISP3.
I saw that in version 2, there was an option, but not at the meeting 3.
if someone could give me the basic guidelines would

help! help!


Thanks
Peru

What is it you hope to be able to administer in ISPConfig? Mailman is not related to ISPConfig, so this shouldn't be any different from setting it up on any other system, or what? :)

[planet_fox]

hi
gives a sollution, it run isp3 and mailman on same server under postfix ?

I want not administrate over isp3

[till]

Should be possible but I never tried it.

[planet_fox]

It is a idee for testing a solution fpr this. I have last year testing isp2 and mailman. and than i have problems with configuration in postfix

[planet_fox]

I do testing in next time, for find a solution for this. I tell you later whats i have the right way.

[planet_fox]

Ok I have testing ISPConfig3 and mailman and it works fine. In next I write a howto for the solution.

[sirrus]

Any new on that?

Regards,
Andreas

[planet_fox]

I hope I have the Time this Week for Howto write finish.

[sirrus]

... if I can help you with testing and/or checking your howto.

Regards,
Andreas

[planet_fox]

Hi

Sorry it have longer time than I have say, I have Howto finish and submit to howtoforge.de see in next days on the site.

Best Regard

Alex

I hope I have the Time this Week for Howto write finish.

Hi planet_fox could you share the how_to, I'd like to have a similar solution.
Thanks in advanced

Hi Alex,
I've installed the mailman successfully.
I'm able to create list associated to a Virtual Domain , I'm able to join users to the list ....but when a user tries to send mail to the list address I receive :

Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable
550 5.1.1 <listname@virtual.domain.isp3>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table

Where can I wrong ? Did you send mails to your lists?

Thanks
Federico

[planet_fox]

Whats is the output of your etc/aliases and your postfix main.cf

[arriba]

i have same problem gnostic-Code: smtp;550 5.1.1 <test@mydomain.eu>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table
here is my main.cf conf

if i do mydefault host mailing lists it works perfectly but when i want to use virtual mailing lists then its problem to send mail there.

Can anyone help me??

[federico]

Hi Alex,

our installation of mailman & ispconfig is working now.
What we have done the following things that differ from your how-to :

- 1) add hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman to virtual_alias_maps instead of add it in virtual_maps entry in the /etc/postfix/main.cf file

- 2) add in /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['demo1.org','demo2.eu']
MTA='Postfix'

where the virtual domains are previously created with ispconfig.


Is this correct? Is there a way to authomatically update the the domains list in the mailman config file?

Federico

[arriba]

And all virtual mailing lists works perfectly?

[federico]

Yes it work.

Federico

[arriba]

frederico but do you have any idea whats wrong in my config files?

[federico]

Hi Arriba,

some notes in your files:

=== in mm_cfg.py
-POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = [' ']
in order to make it work we added by hand the lists of ISPCONFIG domains here.

-MAT = 'Postfix'
the correct syntax is
MTA = 'Postfix'

=== in /etc/postfix/main.cf
add hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman to virtual_alias_maps instead of add it in virtual_maps

Did you perform /usr/lib/mailman/bin/genaliases after the definition of a new list?

Federico

[arriba]

can you show me your postfix and mailman conf ?

[arriba]

Thank you frederico now its work perfectly.


But where i can change that i manage every domain lists their own url. like www.mydomain.ee/cgi-bin/mailman/admin manage mydomain.ee lists and http://www.second.ee/cgi-bin/mailman/admin manage second.ee domain lists?

[federico]

Try to crate a symbolic link

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root mailman -> /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman
in the following directories:

/var/www/www.mydomain.ee/cgi-bin/
and do the same in
/var/www/www.second.ee/cgi-bin/

federico

[arriba]

i trie to make symbolic link but then i get
ERROR 500 - Internal Server Error!
The following error occurred:
The requested URL caused an internal server error.

And i have one question how i can do like juku@domain.ee and juku@site.ee
same list name but different domain.

[planet_fox]

Hi

I was on Holiday, i have Federico have self solve the problems.I do in next time an update of the howto create and I'am watching for an translator for the howto in english.


Best Regards

Alex

[federico]

Hi Arriba, sorry for this long delay .
About the question : "how i can do like juku@domain.ee and juku@site.ee
same list name but different domain" .

We had the same problem, now we add a new instance of mailman in each domain document root created by ispconfig. I think(know) that it may not be the best solution (we have about 100 domains to manages) and actually we are looking for other ways to do this.

Best regards,
Federico

[arriba]

Thank you frederico.

but how i can manage different domains like

lists juku@domain1.ee, juku2@doamin1.ee i can manage http://www.domain1.ee/cgi-bin/mailman

and

info@test.ee, infinity@test.ee i can manage http://www.test.ee/cgi-bin/mailman

best regards
Arriba

[federico]

If you have a distinct instance of mailman for each domain (100 domains, 100 mailman instances) you have 100 mailman admins that can create/manage each one the lists associated to the single domain.

Federico

[arriba]

i think im rookie.
Can you post the guide how to do it.
Is there some mailman web installation?
it very helpful if you can put the installation guide how i can install mailman each domain seperatly.

Thnaks you

[yotis]

Hello all!

I have checked and double checked. Everything in the configuration files is as explained in this thread, but still the messages are not delivered to the final recipients.
For example, I have a list lists@whatever.com with 2 subscribers (I add them from administrative web interface) me@whatever.com and you@whatever.com.
Any message sent to lists@whatever.com seems to be received by the system, but nothing arrived in the subscribers mail.

May I ask for a little help to point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

[federico]

Some checks you can perform:

I) execute ./check_perms in the bin directory of your mailman installation
If problems arise perform again ./check_perms with -f options until no errors appair

II) verify list and members using list_lists and list_members scripts in the same directory

III) check if data/virtual-mailman exists in your mailman directory

IV) if you use postfix check if main.cf contais the entry "hash:path-to-your/data/virtual-mailman" in the virtual_alias_maps sections.

V) did you perform genaliases ?

VI) are qrunner running?

Obviously ..the mail usere exist ! :-) can you see some errors in maillog file?


I hope this coould help

bye
Federico

The rest of the points that you mention is as expected.

Try to exec check_perms -f more than one time until it fixs all problem !

The script itself should fix all

Hi,

I have ISPConfig 3 and mailman running with postfix and all seems fine no errors in the log but I do not seem to receive the email when sent to mailman@mydomain.com.

I have made 100% sure that all settings are correct and I checked permissions on the folders. Please see logs.

I have last year testing isp2 and mailman. and than i have problems with configuration in postfix

[waynefourie]

I found the solution...

I currently have Debian 5.04 +ISPConfig 3 +Postfix +Mailman working like a charm.

Main.cf

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf, mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf, hash:/var/lib/mailman/data/virtual-mailman

mm_cfg.py

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'domain.com'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.domain.com'
MTA='Postfix'
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['domain.com','domain2.com']

Create the list and viola all done. I am testing it in ubuntu 10.04.

I can now confirm that ispconfig 3 and mailman works 100% perfectly together with the same settings as mentioned above.
In theory this means that all Linux Os' should work with ispconfig 3 and mailman with said settings.

2010/06/04
I have tried creating a mailman list for domain2.com...
example: listname@domain2.com

And I kept failing, but I have finally figured it out after struggling for almost a month, and can one believe it!
The solution is so simple...

newlist -u www.domain2.com -e domain2.com listname admin@domain2.com listpassword

All done, now the admin will automatically receive an email reply stating to send mail to listname@domain2.com
Also note that ispconfig 3 is a bit picky so you need to create a symlink for /cgi-bin/mailman in /var/www/site_domain2/cgi/

example: ln -s /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/ /var/www/site_domain2.com/cgi-bin/mailman

Also remember to enable the CGI option in Ispconfig 3 web portal.

Wayne

Hi,

Use the following guide to setup a server with ISPConfig 3.

The Perfect Server - Debian Lenny (Debian 5.0) [ISPConfig 3]
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-lenny-ispconfig3

And then once the server is done install mailman using apt-get and then use my examples to setup your own mailing list for your virtual domains.

Wayne
