[Mailman-Users] Mailman with Postfix and OS X

[Greg Westin]

I'm trying to set up Mailman on OS X with Postfix as my MTA, but I've 
had some trouble.  Here are my problems, which may or may not be related:

1.  The options I specified in mm_cfg.py aren't being applied, I don't 
think.  For example, the links to send comments to the mailman-owner 
just say to 'mailman-owner@', with no domain name, even though it's 
specified in mm_cfg.py.  I accidentally edited the Defaults file once, 
but then changed everything back and saved it again.  Is that what cased 
my problem?  When I changed the domain in the Defaults file, the 
mailman-owner address was displayed properly.

2.  I left all my settings as sendmail, because I didn't know how to 
change things for Postfix.  When Mailman send mail, though, it doesn't 
work correctly.  For example, when I try to subscribe to a list, the 
mail Mailman tries to send is from the invalid address test-
owner at .mydomain.com, which is rejected by my e-mail server.  Why is that 
extra period there?  I don't know, but it messes everything up.

3.  I know there was something else, but I've forgotten it.  Here's a 
question: can anyone tell me how to get Postfix to start automatically 
when I log in?  The tutorial I used to set it up gave instructions to do 
so, but I still have to start it manually every time I restart.

Thanks,
