Hi friends. I've viewed this old thread: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/W... and documentation here: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.ht... (and the Postfix docs it links to). Those documents don't seem to guide my situation, or maybe I just need a more specific example.
The problem is that when messages are delivered to the alias domain, they are held for moderation. I.e., mail to the alias domain like testlist@domain.tld is held for moderation, but mail from the same subscribed, non-moderated user to testlist@lists.domain.tld is posted immediately without moderation.
I wonder whether my main domain needs to be @domain.tld and my alias domain needs to be @lists.domain.tld - is that what I should try? Or, am I not setting up the alias domain correctly?
Details:
I'm writing to ask for advice so that mailman messages to address@domain.tld can also be sent to address@lists.domain.tld. There are various other non-Mailman addresses (local Unix accounts and aliases) handled by @domain.tld as well as @otherdomain.tld on the same server.
I have a running 3.3.10 server (venv, using Postfix and PostgreSQL under Ubuntu 24.04LTS).
The configured domain is of the form: lists.domain.tld and it's working ok. I put this in /etc/aliases and it seems to work, to forward messages from testlist@domain.tld to testlist@lists.domain.tld:
testlist: testlist@lists.domain.tld
I know it works because I see it in MM3's smtp.log and mailman.log, including a line like this in mailman.log: Oct 12 21:12:27 2024 (2560960) HOLD: testlist@lists.domain.tld post from gbnewby@petascale.org held, message-id=< CANLuyJZd8NNn5rOLe3XUhooG9F33U_7VOQXrS-7Z241koAV_Ww@mail.otherdomain.com>: Message has implicit destination
And, indeed, the message is held for moderation.
In the MM3 configuration panel for Domains ( https://lists.domain.tld/mailman3/domains/), I have put "domain.tld" in the "Alias domain" field.
Thanks for any guidance. I appreciated seeing the recent threat about "redirecting -bounces replies" which also addresses alias domains. ~ Greg
