I have a test install of exim and mailman to evaluate mailman. I have
following in the configure (note the 'lc::' in require_files in the router
sections!):
[...]
# vol 020528 mailman config
MAILMAN_HOME=/export/home/mailman
MAILMAN_WRAP=MAILMAN_HOME/mail/wrapper
# MAILMAN_UID=exim
# MAILMAN_GID=exim
MAILMAN_UID=mailman
MAILMAN_GID=mailman
[...]
# vol 020528 mailman router
list_owner_router:
driver = redirect
local_part_suffix = "-owner"
require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc::$local_part}/config.db
data = "${lc:$local_part}-admin@${domain}"
owner_list_router:
driver = redirect
local_part_prefix = "owner-"
require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc::$local_part}/config.db
data = "${lc:$local_part}-admin@${domain}"
list_admin_router:
driver = redirect
local_part_suffix = -admin
require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc::$local_part}/config.db
pipe_transport = list_admin_transport
data = "|MAILMAN_WRAP mailowner ${lc:$local_part}"
list_request_router:
driver = redirect
local_part_suffix = -request
require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc::$local_part}/config.db
pipe_transport = list_request_transport
data = "|MAILMAN_WRAP mailcmd ${lc:$local_part}"
list_router:
driver = redirect
require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/${lc::$local_part}/config.db
pipe_transport = list_transport
data = "|MAILMAN_WRAP post ${lc:$local_part}"
[...]
# mailman transports
list_transport:
driver = pipe
command = MAILMAN_WRAP post ${lc:$local_part}
current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
user = MAILMAN_UID
group = MAILMAN_GID
# log_output
path = /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
list_request_transport:
driver = pipe
command = MAILMAN_WRAP mailcmd ${lc:$local_part}
current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
user = MAILMAN_UID
group = MAILMAN_GID
# log_output
path = /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
list_admin_transport:
driver = pipe
command = MAILMAN_WRAP mailowner ${lc:$local_part}
current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
user = MAILMAN_UID
group = MAILMAN_GID
# log_output
path = /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
[...]
Hope it helps.
