History of BoardsEmailListConfig
Version 9
Integrated Mailing List Setup
Install postfix (or sendmail), imap server (dovecot or similar) and mailman.- yum install postfix
- yum install mailman
- yum install dovecot
- yum install php-imap
- chkconfig postfix on
- service postfix start
- chkconfig dovecot on
- service dovecot start
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.
- telnet yourserver.com 25
- telnet yourserver.com 993
If either fail, it is likely a firewall issue. Try system-config-securitylevel-tui on RedHat flavors...
Add "apache" to mailman group.
- in /etc/group, add similar: mailman:x:41:apache ( 41 may vary depending on your unix flavor)
Give Permissions to aliases to mailman groups
- sudo chgrp mailman /etc/aliases* ; sudo chmod g+rw /etc/aliases*
Create a user to receive all list emails and set password
- createuser boardsync; passwd boardsync
