Description Jaco Kroon 2004-07-28 04:04:39 UTC

The default bin/qmail-to-mailman.py contains 3 variables near the top of the file that contains @MAILMAN_VAR@, @MAILAN_HOME@ and the MailmanOwner variable that should be replaced in during install (afaik).  This does not happen and leaves the qmail delivery system in a mess.

The default MailmanOwner is postmaster@localhost which is acceptable (I would prefer if we could get this to be postmaster@somehost where somehost is somehow determined to be the local maildomain.

Both the other variables simply need to be set to /usr/local/mailman

First line could optionally be set to #! /usr/bin/python, but I just run it with 

|preline /usr/bin/python /usr/local/mailman/bin/qmail-to-mailman.py

from the .qmail file so that is not serious.

Reproducible: Always
