Plesk 9.5.2 and Mailman

[Thomas Eßer]

Hello,

after upgrading fro Plesk 9.3 to 9.5.2 a list via mailman doesn't work properly. I get
following reply:

This is the mail system at host xxx.stratoserver.net.

[..]

<Beirat@satom.de>: Command died with status 1:
"/usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/postfix-mailman". Command output: post script, list
not found: Beirat

The List exists and works since 9.3. I deleted the list and create a new one,
no changes. I reinstall mailman and the pleskcomponentes via the autoinstaller,
again no changes. What happend here and what ist the solution?

Regards,

Thomas

Fixed for me

I fix this problem by using the Script from Gurulabs postfix-to-mailman, instead of the postfix-mailman
from Plesk.

The Script: http://www.gurulabs.com/downloads/postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py

Hth,

Thomas

What it probably is

Chances are that postfix is not folding the case of the recipient address when passing it to postfix-mailman.
When you create the list, for example Beirat, mailman creates the files on disk in lowercase and when it checks for the existance of the list, it checks in lowercase. When you send mail to Beirat@listserver.domain, postfix passes this onto postfix-mailman as "postfix-mailman post Beirat Beirat@listserver.domain". Mailman then can't find Beirat. Chances are if you send it to beirat@listserver.domain it would have worked. To fix this change the following line in /etc/postfix/master.cf

mailman unix - n n - - pipe flags=R user=mailman:mailman argv=/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/postfix-mailman ${nexthop} ${user} ${recipient}

to

mailman unix - n n - - pipe flags=Ru user=mailman:mailman argv=/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/postfix-mailman ${nexthop} ${user} ${recipient}

Note the "u" in the flags option, which folds the recipient name to lowercase.

Hope this helps other people experiencing this problem.

Bug in plesk / mailman

I think there is a bug in plesk that it does not keep the 'u' flag in master.cf when postfix gets updated.
I use mailman and during list setup (with plesk!) the first letter of a list was automatically capitalized somewhere.
I don't know where the mismatch is buried but it is not possible to write to either listnam@.. nor Listname@....
There is always the error message as shown below.
It only works with the -Ru flag in master.cf which should be the default as normally mail addresses are case independent.
So after every update of postfix I need to correct my master.cf which is a real nag.
