[Mailman-Users] MailMan/VirtualHosts/Postfix

[Jeff Baldwin]

Hello All -

I've been troubleshooting this for two days straight and cant seem to 
figure it out.. any help at all would be greatly appreciated.  I can't get 
MailMan to work w/ postfix and virtual domains.. below is a detailed 
description of what I am running into.   Hope you can help.

System Information
-------------------

MTA = Postfix
No sites running on machines FQDN all Virtual Hosts
MailMan version 2.0.6

Install Info
----------------
First of all I follow the setup instructions and give one of my virtual 
hosts all the necessary privelages to run mailman.. then I

[root at mill96 mailman]# bin/newlist
Enter the name of the list: Tester
Enter the email of the person running the list: jeff_baldwin at unc.edu
Initial tester password:
Entry for aliases file:

## tester mailing list
## created: 24-Aug-2001 baldwinj
tester:                  "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post tester"
tester-admin:            "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner tester"
tester-request:          "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd tester"
tester-owner:            tester-admin

Hit enter to continue with tester owner notification...

**OK, so far soo good.

I get an e-mail at the address listed above.. stating that the list has 
been created at the FQDN of the machine.. NOT the virtual host that I gave 
permissions to this dir.  Thats ok, I just make a couple changes in the 
admin interface to ref. the virtual host.  Users can now go to the "virtual 
host" to the mailman area and subscribe to the list.

When a user subscribes... he gets the "are you sure" message in their 
inbox.. so far so good.. when they reply to this message to confirm.. they 
never get a confirmation.. I looked and seen that their request was pending 
so I added them manuall... is there no way for mailman to automate the 
addition of users?

I went ahead and added the users manually.. but now when they post a 
message to the specified e-mail address listname at virtualhost.org no one 
ever sees the message.. it just goes off never to be seen again.

Here are copies of my Postfix Virtual and Aliases files..

engarde at mill92.cep.unc.edu               list-engarde-mill92.cep.unc.edu

engarde-owner at mill92.cep.unc.edu         list-engarde-mill92.cep.unc.edu

Any help would be greatly appreciated.. I guess my questions are....

1.  Is there no way to specify a virtual host when creating a list
2.  Is there a way to automate the adding of users.. instead of it being 
"pending" till I do it manuall?

3.  Why can't anyone see the e-mail that is being sent to the list addy?

Thanks
