Comments on Installing iRedMail And Mailman On Debian Squeeze

Installing iRedMail And Mailman On Debian Squeeze I'm a big fan of iRedMail, which is basically a packaged version of Postfix and the other bits that make Postfix cool, like Spamassassin, greylisting and an LDAP or MySql back-end. One thing I wanted with iRedMail is Mailman, my favourite mailing list server. Integrating the two can be a mission though, so here's some instruction to save you from quite a bit of pain.

Your tutorial is very excellent.

 In Mailman 2.1.13, the default request address is mailman-request@$domain.tld and not mailman-requests@$domain.tld, as your sql statement indicates.

To Fix:

Replace 

('[email protected]', '[email protected]', '', '', 'public', 'example.com', NOW(), NOW(), '9999-12-31 00:00:00', 1),
WITH 
('[email protected]', '[email protected]', '', '', 'public', 'example.com', NOW(), NOW(), '9999-12-31 00:00:00', 1),
This is also indicated by the newaliases printout after the newlist command has been run: 
To finish removing your mailing list, you must edit your /etc/aliases (or
equivalent) file by removing the following lines, and possibly running the
`newaliases' program:
<quote>
## listname mailing list
listname:              "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post listname"
listname-admin:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin listname"
listname-bounces:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces listname"
listname-confirm:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm listname"
listname-join:         "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join listname"
listname-leave:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave listname"
listname-owner:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner listname"
listname-request:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request listname"
listname-subscribe:    "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe listname"
listname-unsubscribe:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe listname"

Thank you.

I tested on VM and it's ok with iredmail + mysql.

Do you think that can work with iredmail+LDAP???

I'm sure it could work with LDAP. I did give it a try but I'm totally unfamiliar with LDAP so I just messed it up.

Thanks for this great tutorialI had one problem, resolved as below (I am using a Ubuntu server)

In step 8:

pico /etc/apache2/sites-available/mailman

should read:

pico /etc/apache2/sites-available/mailman.conf

otherwise a2ensite will return an error

cheers
