[Mailman-Users] Mailman not delivering mail back to Postfix

[Jamie Penman-Smithson]

Hey all,

I've got postfix{-tls,-mysql}, Mailman, and postfix-to-mailman 2.1 (http://www.gurulabs.com/files/postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py) setup on Debian Sid (unstable):

lorien:~# dpkg -l postfix* | grep ^ii
ii  postfix        2.0.16-4       A high-performance mail transport agent
ii  postfix-ldap   2.0.16-4       LDAP map support for Postfix
ii  postfix-mysql  2.0.16-4       MYSQL map support for Postfix
ii  postfix-pcre   2.0.16-4       PCRE map support for Postfix
ii  postfix-tls    2.0.16-4       TLS and SASL support for Postfix

lorien:~# dpkg -l mailman* | grep ^ii
ii  mailman        2.1.3-2        Powerful, web-based mailing list manager

I've setup a list using the web interface, and it's been added successfully:

lorien:/var/lib/mailman/bin# ./list_lists
2 matching mailing lists found:
        Mailman - [no description available]
    sd-announce - Silverdream IS news
lorien:/var/lib/mailman/bin# ./list_admins sd-announce
List: sd-announce,      Owners: root at silverdream.org

Postfix shows that the mail has been sent to postfix-to-mailman:

...and all the mail is sitting in Mailman's queue:

It appears the mail is getting delivered to postfix-to-mailman.py and then to mailman, but after that nothing appears to happen. I've checked /var/log/mailman/errors, and it's empty.

I did show-qfiles on the qfiles/virgin directory and it shows two outbound messages:

====================> /var/lib/mailman/qfiles/virgin/1072096291.5388401+f84a04ab843bf8cd7c1dca80b94fe25fc58b3b4f.pck

But none of it is ever getting back to postfix. I've checked my settings in /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py

# Use Postfix as the MTA
MTA = 'Postfix'
 
# How to deliver mail
DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect'

# Deliver to mailhost on port 25
SMTPHOST = 'lorien.silverdream.hq'
SMTPPORT = 25                                      # default from smtplib

I double-checked that my DNS was still okay (just to rule it out):
lorien:/var/lib/mailman/bin# host lorien.silverdream.hq
lorien.silverdream.hq has address 192.168.1.6

In case it was a permissions problem I ran check_perms:

lorien:/var/lib/mailman/bin# ./check_perms
/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases.db owned by www-data (must be owned by list

Problems found: 1
Re-run as list (or root) with -f flag to fix

AFAIK this shouldn't stop mail from being delivered?
 
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Help would be appreciated - I'm running out of ideas(!)

Thanks in advance

Happy Holidays,

Jamie
