Mailman required the creation of a list on the server called 'mailman'.
|
|
You should create it manually to avoid this message:
|
|
'Site list is missing: mailman'

Configure options:
|
|
|
|
$ less /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py
|
|
$ sudo vim /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py
|
|
|
|
Configure aliases for Postfix MTA:

[...]
|

|
|
[...]
|
|

|
To create a new list:
|
|

|
|
|
|
Maybe after create your first list you need to setup some directories/files:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo chown mailman:mailman /etc/mailman/aliases*
|
|
$ sudo chmod 660 /etc/mailman/aliases.db
|
|
|
|
To configure httpd settings (without vhosts) append this to your httpd.conf:
|
|
|
|
[...]
|
|
ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/
|
|
<Directory "/usr/lib/mailman/cgi-bin/">
|
|

|
|

# Uncomment the following line, replacing www.example.com with your server's
|
|
# name, to redirect queries to /mailman to the listinfo page (recommended).
|
|
RedirectMatch ^/mailman[/]*$ http://www.example.com/mailman/listinfo
|
|
[...]

|
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: If archives/private is not o+x, then the owner of archives/private
|
|
must be the web server user whatever that is - i.e. the web server user must be
|
|
able to search in archives/private.
|
|
|
|
$ ls -ld /var/lib/mailman/archives/p*
|
|
drwxrws--x 6 root mailman 4096 Jan 12 17:02 /var/lib/mailman/archives/private
|
|
drwxrwsr-x 2 root mailman 4096 Jan 12 17:02 /var/lib/mailman/archives/public
|
|
|
|
The owner (root) is not important. the group is Mailman's group and may or may
|
|
not be 'mailman' (e.g. on a debian/ubuntu package install, it is 'list')
