Background
Mailman is a complex piece of software, I've taken notes while setting it up in a jail on a FreeBSD 8-stable machine. The jail has a global ipv4 and an ipv6 address, but no loopback address.
Installation
This section outlines the ports that needs to be installed.
Postfix
I install postfix from /usr/ports/mail/postfix
and check the TLS
option. I stop Sendmail before continuing:
[tykling@lists ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/sendmail onestop Stopping sendmail. Stopping sendmail_clientmqueue. [tykling@lists ~]$
I add the following to /etc/rc.conf
:
sendmail_enable="NO" sendmail_submit_enable="NO" sendmail_outbound_enable="NO" sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO" postfix_enable="YES"
I also add the following to /etc/periodic.conf
:
daily_clean_hoststat_enable="NO" daily_status_mail_rejects_enable="NO" daily_status_include_submit_mailq="NO" daily_submit_queuerun="NO"
nginx
I also install /usr/ports/www/nginx
with the following options enabled:
[tykling@lists /usr/ports/www/nginx]$ sudo make showconfig | grep =on IPV6=on: Enable IPv6 support HTTP=on: Enable HTTP module HTTP_REWRITE=on: Enable http_rewrite module HTTP_SSL=on: Enable http_ssl module [tykling@lists /usr/ports/www/nginx]$
I also enable it in /etc/rc.conf
:
nginx_enable="YES"
thttpd
For cgi-bin processing (which nginx doesn't do) I install /usr/ports/www/thttpd
.
I also enable it in /etc/rc.conf
:
thttpd_enable="YES"
Mailman
Finally I install /usr/ports/mail/mailman
with the Postfix option enabled:
[tykling@lists /usr/ports/mail/mailman]$ sudo make showconfig | grep =on
POSTFIX=on: for use with postfix
[tykling@lists /usr/ports/mail/mailman]$
I also enable it in /etc/rc.conf
:
mailman_enable="YES"
Configuration
The following section contains the configs I used for this server.
Postfix
The main config file /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf
is very verbose by default but the defaults are fine actually, and the config below is all I need:
[tykling@lists ~]$ cat /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf mynetworks_style = host inet_protocols = ipv4 ipv6 relay_domains = lists.thecamp.dk mailman_destination_recipient_limit = 1 transport_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/transport recipient_delimiter = + alias_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/aliases # TLS settings smtpd_tls_cert_file = /usr/local/www/certificates/lists.tyknet.dk.crt smtpd_tls_key_file = /usr/local/www/certificates/lists.tyknet.dk.key smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_security_level = may smtp_tls_CAfile = /usr/local/www/certificates/lists.tyknet.dk.crt smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:/var/db/postfix/smtp_tls_session_cache smtp_tls_security_level = may
I also add the following snippet to /usr/local/etc/postfix/master.cf
:
mailman unix - n n - - pipe flags=FR user=mailman:nobody argv=/usr/local/mailman/postfix-to-mailman.py ${nexthop} ${user}
Postfix-to-mailman.py
I use a script to get the mail from Postfix to Mailman, the script can be downloaded and installed easily and it works very well:
[tykling@lists ~]$ fetch http://www.gurulabs.com/downloads/postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py 100% of 4633 B 26 kBps [tykling@lists ~]$ sudo mv postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py /usr/local/mailman/postfix-to-mailman.py [tykling@lists ~]$
I edit the script to fix the path to Python and set two required variables:
[tykling@lists ~]$ diff -u /usr/local/mailman/postfix-to-mailman.py postfix-to-mailman.py --- /usr/local/mailman/postfix-to-mailman.py 2012-06-10 19:33:44.557197572 +0200 +++ postfix-to-mailman.py 2012-06-10 19:33:02.609292985 +0200 @@ -1,8 +1,8 @@ -#!/usr/local/bin/python +#! /usr/bin/env python # Configuration variables - Change these for your site if necessary. -MailmanHome = "/usr/local/mailman"; # Mailman home directory. -MailmanOwner = "thomas@gibfest.dk"; # Postmaster and abuse mail recipient. +MailmanHome = "/var/mailman"; # Mailman home directory. +MailmanOwner = "postmaster@example.com"; # Postmaster and abuse mail recipient. # End of configuration variables. # postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py (to be installed as postfix-to-mailman.py) [tykling@lists ~]$
Finally I need to make the script executable:
[tykling@lists ~]$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/mailman/postfix-to-mailman.py [tykling@lists ~]$
nginx
I add the following to the nginx config file /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
:
worker_processes 1; events { worker_connections 1024; } http { include mime.types; default_type application/octet-stream; sendfile on; keepalive_timeout 65; server { listen 80 default; server_name lists.thecamp.dk; rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent; } server { listen 443 default; server_name lists.tyknet.dk; root /usr/local/mailman; ssl on; ssl_certificate /usr/local/www/certificates/lists.thecamp.dk.crt; ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/www/certificates/lists.thecamp.dk.key; add_header Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000; location = / { rewrite ^ /mailman/listinfo permanent; } location / { rewrite ^ /mailman$uri?$args; } location = /mailman/ { rewrite ^ /mailman/listinfo permanent; } location /mailman/ { #include proxy_params; proxy_pass http://lists.thecamp.dk:8080/; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; } location /cgi-bin { rewrite ^/cgi-bin(.*)$ $1 permanent; } location /images/mailman { alias /usr/local/mailman/icons; } location /icons { alias /usr/local/mailman/icons; } location /pipermail { alias /usr/local/mailman/archives/public; autoindex on; } } }
thttpd
I create the following config for the thttpd webserver, /usr/local/etc/thttpd.conf
:
host=78.47.102.140 port=8080 dir=/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin nochroot user=www cgipat=/** logfile=/var/log/thttpd.log
