So I've followed <
http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html > up until (and
including) the "Mailing list personalisation by Mailman" section. I
restarted mailman with no problems, but Exim, when I restart it (via
/etc/init.d/exim restart as I use Gentoo), returns the following:
* Starting exim...
2004-10-26 13:28:52 Exim configuration error in line 625 of /etc/exim/exim.conf:
authenticator name missing
The section in question:
######################################################################
# CONFIGURATION FOR MailMan #
######################################################################
# Home dir for your Mailman installation -- aka Mailman's prefix
# directory.
# By default this is set to "/usr/local/mailman"
# On a Red Hat/Fedora system using the RPM use "/var/mailman"
# On Debian using the deb package use "/var/lib/mailman"
# This is normally the same as ~mailman
MM_HOME=/usr/local/mailman
#
# User and group for Mailman, should match your --with-mail-gid
# switch to Mailman's configure script.
# Value is normally "mailman"
MM_UID=mailman
MM_GID=mailman
#
# Domains that your lists are in - colon separated list
# you may wish to add these into local_domains as well
domainlist mm_domains=joseph-a-nagy-jr.us
#
# -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
#
# These values are derived from the ones above and should not need
# editing unless you have munged your mailman installation
#
# The path of the Mailman mail wrapper script
MM_WRAP=MM_HOME/mail/mailman
#
# The path of the list config file (used as a required file when
# verifying list addresses)
MM_LISTCHK=MM_HOME/lists/${lc::$local_part}/config.pck
# End of Exim configuration file
Line 625 starts with MM_HOME.
Also, earlier up (on line 512) I had to edit the mailman transport:
mailman_transport:
driver = pipe
command = MM_WRAP \
'${if def:local_part_suffix \
{${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \
{post}}' \
$local_part
current_directory = MM_HOME
home_directory = MM_HOME
user = MM_UID
group = MM_GID
That's the suggested. I had to change user and group both to 'mailman'
otherwise it would error saying there was no such user as MM_UID and no
such group as MM_GID. This isn't a big deal, but perhaps the howto
should be updated to reflect the change I had to make to the transport
(I'm sure I'm not the only one to have a problem with it).
