Integrated Mailing List SetupInstall postfix (or sendmail), imap server (dovecot or similar) and mailman.
Check your mail and imaps ports are open. Currently, only imaps works because it is hardcoded in the UI. someone with more time than me can add support for pop, pops, and imap.
If either fail, it is likely a firewall issue. Try system-config-securitylevel-tui on RedHat flavors... Add "apache" to mailman group.

List ConfigurationIf you want to further customize the settings for lists, edit the util/mailman.cfg file. These settings are passed on to each list when it is created.Using a subdomain for list emailsA common configuration if using the GroupsPackage in conjunction with BoardsPackage and Mailman mailing lists is to subdomain the email lists. For example you might want all your mailing list emails to be at something like: listname@groups.yourdomain.comMailman can't know this unless you tell it, it will default to telling recipients that the list is at listname@yourdomain.com. To override this, edit the util/mailman.cfg file and add: host_name = "subname.youdomain.com". |
