Mailman kasutamine FreeBSD'ga

Sissejuhatus

Mailman on populaarne maililisti tarkvara, sarnaneb tööpõhimõttelt majordomoga. See pala seletab, kuidas mailman'i installida ja kasutada koos postfix'iga.

Mailmanil on lisaks käsurea utiliitidele ka veebiliides kõigi toimingute jaoks, nagu subscibeerimine, administreerimine ning arhiivide haldus.

Install

Midagi keerulist Linux kasutajatel pole. BSD's postfix kasutajatel tuleb jälgida, et kompileerimisel MAIL_GID oleks järgnevalt kirjeldatud

cd /usr/ports/mail/mailman
make MAIL_GID=mailman install clean

Veebiliidese seadistamiseks httpd.conf'i lisada read

ScriptAlias /mailman/ /usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin/
Alias /pipermail/ /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/

selleks, et võimalik kasutada veebiliidest kujul www.server/mailman

Postfixi seadistamine

Avame main.cf faili, seal rida

alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases

muudame

alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases, hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases

Mailmani seadistus

Mailmaini enda seadistusfailiks on mm_cfg.py mis asunb kaustas mailman/Mailman

Seal on rida # Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line.

Mille alla saab lisada enda serveri spetsiifilisi seadeid nagu.

MTA = 'Postfix'
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'lists.aadress.ee'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'lists.aadress.ee'
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'https://%s/mailman/'
PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL = 'https://%(hostname)s/pipermail/%(listname)s'
DEFAULT_ARCHIVE = On

# Are archives public or private by default? 0=public, 1=private
DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_PRIVATE = 1
DEFAULT_SERVER_LANGUAGE = 'et'
add_virtualhost('leheke.ee','aadress.ee')

Spamipeletamiseks saab lisada otse mailmani sisse

GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(1, 'SpamAssassin')
SPAMASSASSIN_HOST = 'localhost:783'
SPAMASSASSIN_DISCARD_SCORE = 6
SPAMASSASSIN_HOLD_SCORE = 4

Listi loomine

Käivitame käsu newlist, mis asub erinevates os'ides eri kohtades, BSD's näiteks /usr/local/mailman/bin kaustas

küsitakse meilt

Enter the name of the list:

kirjutame test

Järgnevalt listile jääva administraatori mail, kes hakkab saama listiserveri teateid näiteks modereerimisnõuetest

Enter the email of the person running the list:admin@server

Kõige viimasena listi administreerimise parool

Initial testtest password:passa

Automaatselt lisatakse mailmani poolt faili /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases read:

## test mailing list
test:              "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post test"
test-admin:        "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin test"
test-bounces:      "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces test"
test-confirm:      "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman confirm test"
test-join:         "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman join test"
test-leave:        "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman leave test"
test-owner:        "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner test"
test-request:      "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request test"
test-subscribe:    "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe test"
test-unsubscribe:  "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe test"

Nüüd saame enda uut maililisti admistreerida ja kasutajaid lisada veebi kasutades urli.

Mailman tekitab igale listikasutajale ka parooli, millega nad saavad ise sisse logida.

Kaustad

The data directory stores all the held messages and bounce events. This directory also contains site wide administrator password and an aliases file which is used by the MTA to identify available mailing lists.

Mailman stores its list specific settings like passwords, subscribers, list settings as python pickels in lists directory. First step in migrating list is to rsync this directory to the new server. You may copy over few selected lists, or all the lists using any means.

The archives directory stores mailing list archives if it is enabled(enabled by default).
