<h4>The following was posted on the Postfix mailing list on 5/4/2002 by
|
|||
|
|
Michael Tokarev as a suggested addition to the Postfix FAQ.</h4>
|
|||
|
|
<p>Q: Mailman does not work with Postfix, complaining about GID mismatch<br>
|
|||
|
|
<br>
|
|||
|
|
A: Mailman uses a setgid wrapper that is designed to be used in
|
|||
|
|
system-wide aliases file so that rest of mailman's mail handling
|
|||
|
|
processes will run with proper uid/gid. Postfix has an ability to run a
|
|||
|
|
command specified in an alias as owner of that alias, thus mailman's
|
|||
|
|
wrapper is not needed here. The best method to invoke mailman's mail
|
|||
|
|
handling via aliases is to use separate alias file especially for
|
|||
|
|
mailman, and made it owned by mailman and group mailman. Like:<br>
|
|||
|
|
<br>
|
|||
|
|
alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases, hash:/var/mailman/aliases<br>
|
|||
|
|
<br>
|
|||
|
|
Make sure that /var/mailman/aliases.db is owned by mailman user (this
|
|||
|
|
may be done by executing postalias as mailman userid).<br>
|
|||
|
|
<br>
|
|||
|
|
Next, instead of using mailman-suggested aliases entries with wrapper,
|
|||
|
|
use the following:<br>
|
|||
|
|
<br>
|
|||
|
|
instead of<br>
|
|||
|
|
mailinglist: /var/mailman/mail/wrapper post mailinglist<br>
|
|||
|
|
mailinglist-admin: /var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner mailinglist<br>
|
|||
|
|
mailinglist-request: /var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd mailinglist<br>
|
|||
|
|
...<br>
|
|||
|
|
<br>
|
|||
|
|
use<br>
|
|||
|
|
mailinglist: /var/mailman/scripts/post mailinglist<br>
|
|||
|
|
mailinglist-admin: /var/mailman/scripts/mailowner mailinglist<br>
|
|||
|
|
mailinglist-request: /var/mailman/scripts/mailcmd mailinglist<br>
|
|||
|
|
...</p>
|
|||
|
|
<h4>The above tip works with Mailman 2.0; Mailman 2.1 has adopted
|
|||
|
|
something very similar so that no workaround is necessary. See the
|
|||
|
|
README.POSTFIX file included with Mailman-2.1. </h4>
