Default Mailman + The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 11.10 [ISPConfig 3]
My server is now upgraded to the above after starting 10.4 and I wish to integrate mailman.

The server has 6 email domains - all configured through ISPConfig 3 - and I want to enable mailman on 2 of those.

Can someone point me to the best "how to" on installation of mailman in my current environment?

This is from my working copy of the ISPConfig 3 Manual for ISPConfig 3.0.4 (which will be released after ISPConfig 3.0.4 has been released):

Quote:
Install Mailman as follows:

Code:
apt-get install mailman
Before we can start Mailman, a first mailing list called mailman must be created:

Code:
newlist mailman

root@server1:~# newlist mailman
Enter the email of the person running the list: <-- admin email address, e.g. info@example.com
Initial mailman password: <-- admin password for the mailman list
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... <-- ENTER

root@server1:~#
Open /etc/aliases afterwards...

Code:
vi /etc/aliases
... and add the following lines:

Code:
[...]
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"
Run

Code:
newaliases
afterwards and restart Postfix:

Code:
/etc/init.d/postfix restart
Finally we must enable the Mailman Apache configuration:

Code:
ln -s /etc/mailman/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/mailman.conf
This defines the alias /cgi-bin/mailman/ for all Apache vhosts, which means you can access the Mailman admin interface for a list at http://<vhost>/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/<listname>, and the web page for users of a mailing list can be found at http://<vhost>/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/<listname>.

Under http://<vhost>/pipermail you can find the mailing list archives.

Restart Apache afterwards:

Code:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Then start the Mailman daemon:

Code:
/etc/init.d/mailman start
Afterwards, wait until ISPConfig 3.0.4 is released (comes with Mailman support) and then upgrade to 3.0.4. During the upgrade, please choose to let ISPConfig reconfigure all services.

Exclamation
OK - setup as described but the only issue I have now is accessing the lists via:
http://<vhost>/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/<listname>
 etc

I have a list setup committee on domain polfidelity.org.au however the URL:
http://polyfidelity.org.au/cgi-bin/m...dmin/committee gives me 404 error

I can access the list by using the server name:
http://server1.jones.dhs.org/cgi-bin...dmin/committee

Question is what have I done wrong?

 Sample configuration for Debian mailman with Apache

# We can find mailman here:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/mailman/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/
# And the public archives:
Alias /pipermail/ /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/
# Logos:
Alias /images/mailman/ /usr/share/images/mailman/

# Use this if you don't want the "cgi-bin" component in your URL:
# In case you want to access mailman through a shorter URL you should enable
# this:
#ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/
# In this case you need to set the DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN in
# /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py to http://%s/mailman/ for the cookie
# authentication code to work.  Note that you need to change the base
# URL for all the already-created lists as well.

<Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/>
    AllowOverride None
    Options ExecCGI

That's not the full file (is it?).

Did you scroll to the end? At least the closing </Directory> is missing.
