The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Eric Sandquist" <address@concealed>]

Also, after some testing with 3.4 and 3.4.1, although the web interface
indicates that all aliases have been installed, in truth they have not...
there has actually been no change to /etc/aliases or /etc/domainaliases.

Again... I need ot have both these files modified for proper operation....
Is it possible to take postfix_manager.pl from a previous version and rename
it to alias_manager.pl and get proper operation?  Or better yet, what other
options do I have?

Again, I need to have both files modified... and I am using sendmail for my
MTA... but the files are setup in the same manner as Postfix.  Example
entries are below:

/etc/domainaliases

address@concealed test+amazinggroups.com
address@concealed test-request+amazinggroups.com
address@concealed test-editor+amazinggroups.com
address@concealed test-owner+amazinggroups.com
address@concealed test-unsubscribe+amazinggroups.com


/etc/aliases

#####SYMPA LISTS##############################################
test+amazinggroups.com: "|/home/www/sympa/bin/queue address@concealed"
test-request+amazinggroups.com: "|/home/www/sympa/bin/queue
address@concealed"
test-editor+amazinggroups.com: "|/home/www/sympa/bin/queue
address@concealed"
test-owner+amazinggroups.com: "|/home/www/sympa/bin/bouncequeue
address@concealed"
test-unsubscribe+amazinggroups.com: "|/home/www/sympa/bin/queue
address@concealed"


Any help would be appreciated...

Well, that is probably fine for the Postfix users. However, my MTA is
Sendmail.  My particular configuration uses Postfix-style virtual-domains
(/etc/domainaliases) and uses the same command (makemap btree
/etc/domainaliases.db < /etc/domainaliases) for its virtual hosting...

So running Postmap does not appear to be an option for me, since I must have
an appropriate entry into both tables for proper operation.

Please let me know what I must do to get postfix style entries into my
aliases file and my vitual aliases file...

I have gone through the docs again and see no solution to this problem...

Hi Eric,

We have supressed the postfix_manager.pl, here is an explanation you can
find in ths src/README.postfix file (of the distribution) :

        1- Alias installation script

        postfix_manager.pl is no more distributed and should not be usefull
        anymore. Sympa now uses a standard alias_manager.pl. The aliases
        entries can be customized to your needs (to your MTA) via the
        list_aliases.tpl file.

        2- Virtual domains management

        If you manage virtual robots with Sympa, then
        with Postfix, add an entry to your /etc/postfix/virtual.regexp :
            /^(.*)my\.domain\.fr$/       ${1}-my.domain.fr

        Entries in the 'aliases' file will look like this :
            sympa-my.domain.fr:   "|/home/sympa/bin/sympa.pl 
address@concealed"
            .....
            listA-my.domain.fr:   "|/home/sympa/bin/sympa.pl 
address@concealed"

        This way you don't need to run 'postmap' everytime you create a list
