Mailman

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"
