[Mailman-Users] Multiple Installations on same server...

[Phillip Ryker]

I hear what you are saying.  I changed it to braces instead of
parentheses and got the same error message:

[root at listsrv exim]# exim -bt tacos at listsrv.swiftnetworks.com
tacos at listsrv.swiftnetworks.com cannot be resolved at this time:
  failed to expand "/virtual/${lc" for require_files: "${lc" is not a
known operator (or a } is missing in a variable reference)

So, then I found this which seems to be more up-to-date:

<http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html>.

and it recommended the following:

MM_UID=mailman
MM_GID=mailman
MM_HOME=/virtual/${lc::$domain}/mailman
MM_WRAP=MM_HOME/mail/mailman
MM_LISTCHK=MM_HOME/lists/${lc::$local_part}/config.pck

mailman_router:
    driver = accept
    domains = +mm_domains
    require_files = MM_LISTCHK
    local_part_suffix_optional
    local_part_suffix = -admin     : \
                        -bounces   : -bounces+* : \
                        -confirm   : -confirm+* : \
                        -join      : -leave     : \
                        -owner     : -request   : \
                        -subscribe : -unsubscribe
    transport = mailman_transport

mailman_transport:
    driver = pipe
    command = MM_WRAP \
              '${if def:local_part_suffix \
                    {${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \
                    {post}}' \
              $local_part
    current_directory = MM_HOME
    home_directory = MM_HOME
    user = MM_UID
    group = MM_GID

I tried that and now exim -bt returns with the right response.
However, I am getting the following in my logs:

No such file or directory: failed to chdir to
/virtual/:listsrv.domain1.com/mailman

so it is now pritning that extra colon.  When I remove it I get errors
when running exim -bt.  When I add it I get errors in the logfiles as
above.  I am at a lost.  I know others are running multiple installs
but I just cannot seem to get past this.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks

Phil
