I am having some trouble getting mailman to work with Exim, and I was
hoping someone could shed some light on what I am doing wrong. I am
running Exim 4.12 on RedHat 8.0. In my exim.conf I have:
# Home dir for your Mailman installation -- aka Mailman's prefix
# directory.
MAILMAN_HOME=/usr/local/mailman
MAILMAN_WRAP=MAILMAN_HOME/mail/mailman
# User and group for Mailman, should match your --with-mail-gid
# switch to Mailman's configure script.
MAILMAN_USER=mailman
MAILMAN_GROUP=mailman
mailman_router:
driver = accept
require_files = MAILMAN_HOME/lists/$local_part/config.pck
local_part_suffix_optional
local_part_suffix = -bounces : -bounces+* : \
-confirm+* : -join : -leave : \
-owner : -request : -admin
transport = mailman_transport
mailman_transport:
driver = pipe
command = MAILMAN_WRAP \
'${if def:local_part_suffix \
{${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \
{post}}' \
$local_part
current_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
home_directory = MAILMAN_HOME
user = MAILMAN_USER
group = MAILMAN_GROUP
All of that is pretty much right out of the README.EXIM that came with
Mailman 2.1. I have a list called "abc", which I have created and am a
member of, but when mailing from a server on the local net:
bash$ mail abc@??? < /etc/issue
I get the following in main.log:
2003-03-12 09:59:26 18t7hW-00050G-00 <= fmonkey@???

What's the deal? What am I doing wrong?
ahp
