The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

Ø  But why do you need to map address@concealed to address@concealed ? Can’t I just use address@concealed without doing the regexp part?

 

This is for handling multiple list domains on the same server.  Since you want to be able to have address@concealed AND address@concealed on your server, you cannot simply set both aliases to ‘foo’ as they’d conflict.  Therefore, you set only your primary domain to have a ‘foo’ alias, and the others have a ‘domain-foo’ alias, and you can use a regexp alias to do this for simplicity.

 

When you have only the one list domain, as in your case, you don’t need to worry about the domain-listname aliases.

 

You should use ‘domain listserver.domain.com’ on your Sympa server, I think, and let your mail gateway handle the @domain.com aliases.

 

We do the masquerading of email addresses on our mail gateway, as it is easier for us.  However, you should be able to get the Sympa server to do a measure of this by having the enforced Reply-To headers and so on.  It depends on how much masquerading you want and if it is really necessary.  I’m not sure exactly what effect will be achieved if you change the domain in the list definition to be domain.com, as I’ve never attempted this sort of configuration; it might work out – try it J

Hi Steve,

 

Thank you for your answer

It really comes down to how you want to manage your mail.  We can’t let Sympa manage our @auckland.ac.nz aliases so they’re handled elsewhere, and we use Postfix regexp aliases to map address@concealed to address@concealed which is then aliased to “|queue address@concealed” by the Sympa-generated aliases.  We also manually add the address@concealed aliases and tell postfix the many domain names handled by this host.

This seems to be exactly what I need. But why do you need to map address@concealed to address@concealed ? Can’t I just use address@concealed without doing the regexp part?

 

We have the redirection from address@concealed to address@concealed in place, so I would need 2 things:

1.       Sympa has to accept incoming mails for address@concealed

2.       Sympa should masquerade the lists as address@concealed

 

Can I archive 1. by putting the line “domain listserver.domain.com” into sympa.conf (instead of “domain domain.com”) How do I do 2.? By editing the list definition and set internet domain to “domain.com”?

 

Greetings

 

Christian
