Thank you Ciaran, i am testing right know and will let you know, i don't
use vpopmail, just Mailman 2.0.9 and Qmail, i also use Plesk 2.5 to
administer webhosting but the Plesk/Mailman part of the problem it's
just a matter of directories location and i have it working.

I undestand i will have to have these 2 lines on my .qmail-default file
of my domain mail directory (i have /var/qmail/mailnames/domain1.com )

|/preline /usr/bin/python 
|/usr/local/mailman/domain1.com/qmail-to-mailman.py

Why the first line?

You say: "Also the qmail-to-mailman.py script expects "mailman-" to be
the prefix to the mail, so you need to hack the script to change this to
"domain1.com-" if using vpopmail."

I don't use vpopmail, do i forget about this?.

Thanks!

Hi Alexis,
I don't know if I can be of any help, but I have just successfully set
up Mailman on top of a qmail installation running name-based virtual
servers using vpopmail. I used the qmail-to-mailman.py script in the
contrib directory of the source distribution of Mailman.

In order to get qmail to pipe mail through to your mailman app, you
should put the following into the .qmail-default file in your domain's
home directory (if using vmailmgr - I think that's what it does) or in
/home/vpopmail/domaiins/mydomain1.com

|/preline /usr/bin/python 
|/usr/local/mailman/domain1.com/qmail-to-mailman.py

Also the qmail-to-mailman.py script expects "mailman-" to be the prefix
to the mail, so you need to hack the script to change this to
"domain1.com-" if using vpopmail.

Try 'tail -f'ing your maillog files as you send messages, this will show
you more of what's happening.

Hope this is of some use to you.

Regards,
Ciaran.
