1. Installation
1.1. Postfix
1.1.1. Recipient delimiter
Make sure that `recipient_delimiter' is set to `+'; run:
dpkg-reconfigure -plow postfix
if in doubt, or edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and restart postfix.
1.1.2. Using the system aliases
Create mailing lists using the -a option to mlmmj-make-ml, then
(as instructed) run "/usr/bin/newaliases".
Don't worry about the cron job, there's already one in place for all
the lists in /etc/cron.d/mlmmj.
Note that you may need (or not) to:
chown -R nobody:nogroup /var/spool/mlmmj/list
depending on your postfix setup.
1.1.2. Using virtual maps
If you don't want to use system aliases (for example if you need
to do mass hosting of mailing lists), you can use a more complex
setup: virtual_alias_maps and alias_maps in postfix, and custom
path for each of your lists. It's a little bit more complex, but
not so much.
The following directives in postfix main.cf instead:
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/postfix_virtual_mlmmj
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/postfix_aliases_mlmmj
This will extend the system aliases.
Now let's pretend we want to add a new mylist@example.com list.
We create it with mlmmj-make-ml (without the -a option):
(echo example.com; echo listmaster@example.com; echo N;) | /usr/bin/mlmmj-make-ml -L example.com_mylist -s /path/to/example.com/lists
In the file /etc/postfix/postfix_virtual put:
mylist@example.com example.com_mylist
In the file postfix_aliases_mlmmj, put:
example.com_mylist: "|/usr/bin/mlmmj-recieve -L /path/to/example.com/lists/example.com_mylist/"
Don't forget to:
postmap /etc/postfix/postfix_virtual_mlmmj
postmap /etc/postfix_aliases_mlmmj
/etc/init.d/postfix reload
each time you add a new list.
1.2. Exim
For Exim intergration it is recommended to follow the docs in:
/usr/share/doc/mlmmj/README.exim4
Rather than using a mlmmj user and group you can:
chown -R Debian-exim:Debian-exim /var/spool/mlmmj/mlmmj-test
It is also possible to use the /etc/aliases file as in "1.1 Postfix"
part of this file and add the following to the "userforward:" and
"localuser:" exim configuration:
local_part_suffix = +*
local_part_suffix_optional
Running "/usr/bin/newaliases" is not required and the there's already
a cron job in /etc/cron.d/mlmmj in place to handle all lists.
1.3. Sendmail
For use with sendmail please refer to:
/usr/share/doc/mlmmj/README.sendmail
1.4. Qmail
For use with qmail please refer to:
/usr/share/doc/mlmmj/README.qmail
2. Creating a mailing list
2.1. Using /usr/bin/mlmmj-make-ml
The installed version of mlmmj-make-ml is an untouched version from
the upstream release. Run "man mlmmj-make-ml" for details of usage.
If the exim4 package is installed then it is not necessary to add
anything to /etc/aliases if you have correctly intergrated mlmmj into
the exim4 configuration. The only option recommended is "-L" to name
the mailing list.
Read /usr/share/doc/mlmmj/TUNABLES.gz to configure your mailing list by
adding/editing files in /var/spool/mlmmj/[list name]/control/.
Use /usr/bin/mlmmj-sub to subscribe people to your mailing list.
2.2. Old version of /usr/bin/mlmmj-make-ml
You can find the old version of /usr/bin/mlmmj-make-ml in
/usr/share/doc/mlmmj/ directory. This depends on the dctrl-tools
package.
3. MLMMJ PHP Web Admin
3.1. Setting-up Apache2
To use mlmmj-php-web-admin add something like this in one of your
virtual host files (for example in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default):
<Directory "/usr/share/mlmmj-php-web-admin">
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Alias /mlmmj-php-web-admin /usr/share/mlmmj-php-web-admin/htdocs
The AllowOverride All is necessary for the default .htaccess to work.
3.2. Configuring MLMMJ Web Admin
Set the path of your list in /etc/mlmmj-web-admin/config.php.
Set a login and password as follow:
htpasswd -c /etc/mlmmj-php-web-admin/htpasswd YOUR-USERNAME
