Again from the cronjob for mailman
please ignore the last comment, I stupildy cut and past into the wrong window. Mark Sendmail use with mailman is now depricated as of version 2.1, see the comment in Defaults.py which I've included below. I'm going to mark this as not a bug. The math doman error is in bug #82296 # Final delivery module for outgoing mail. This handler is used for message # delivery to the list via the smtpd, and to an individual user. This value # must be a string naming a module in the Mailman.Handlers package. # # WARNING: Sendmail has security holes and should be avoided. In fact, you # must read the Mailman/Handlers/Sendmail.py file before it will work for # you. # #DELIVERY_MODULE = 'Sendmail' DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect' |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Description of problem: When installing mailman from the rpm package, the default MTA is left as 'SMTPDirect' though the /usr/share/doc/mailmain-{foo}/README.REDHAT contains instructions for setting up sendmail as the MTA. This can be fixed by adding the line DELIVERY_MODULE = 'Sendmail' to the /var/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py file. If this setting does not match your actual MTA, outgoing email will not be delivered. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mailman-2.0.13-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.If mailman is installed, uninstall it. 2.Install the mailman rpm 3.Check the file /var/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py Actual Results: The DELIVERY_MODULE = 'Sendmail' line is not present in /var/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py Expected Results: The DELIVERY_MODULE = 'Sendmail' line should be present in /var/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py Additional info: This has been reported on the mailman mailing list http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg02959.html and I experienced it myself.
