Install postfix (or sendmail), imap server (dovecot or similar) and mailman.
* __yum install postfix__
* __yum install mailman__
* __yum install dovecot__
* __yum install php-imap__
Make sure postfix and imap are up and running:
* __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
