Postfix Configuration & Mailman

[pbucher]

I have an existing mailman configuration on my Zimbra server that I need to get back into service. Previously it was using Postfix and the postfix-to-mailman.py script.

I could hack up the zimbra Postfix config files to do it but I'd like to do it the "Zimbra way". Here are the config changes needed to post to make this fly.

postfix/main.cf:
relay_domains = ... lists.yourdomain.net
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
mailman_destination_recipient_limit = 1
[...]

postfix/master.cf
# [...]
mailman unix - n n - - pipe
flags=FR user=list
argv=/var/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py ${nexthop} ${user}

postfix/transport:
lists.yourdomain.net mailman:


My final issue is Zimbra currently defines transport_maps to ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-transport.cf which queries the ldap server for the transport. Is there a way to add my virtual domains to zimbra and then config them to the mailman transport like the above change in postfix/transport:.

If I didn't have a existing setup I would just follow the mailman instructions already posted here in the forum. But because I used this method previously I don't have the alias files and such need for the posted method.

Welcome to the forums.

I don't know anything about mailman but does this post answer your questions?

Thanks.

I'm afraid that post doesn't help. If I was doing a new install of mailman it would. Because of how I originally configured mailman I don't have the aliases* and virtual-mailman* files that method uses.

Though it does give me a pointer on how to work around the transport issue.

I guess my real question is: It doesn't seem right to manualy edit /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf since each time zimbra starts up it regenerates it and I've seen mention about using zmlocalconfig to configure things for postfix. That and knowing that sooner or latter zimbra will probably include mailing list support. I was looking for the "Zimbra" way to make the above Postfix config changes to Zimbra so I will have the least problems with future upgrades.

main.cf is regenerated everytime postfix is restart. Take a look at /opt/zimbra/conf/zmmta.cf.

This file tells Zimbra where to pull variables from LDAP or zmlocalconfig, once you figure that out you can then use the approprate tool to make your configuration changes.

You can use zmlocalconfig...
