Is there a way to change where mailman looks for files? I've run into many issues with the default config:
mailman is specifically calling Python 3.4, ignoring the fact that I have Python 3.5
How did you install Mailman? If it was into a virtualenv, then it will use the Python in your venv's bin directory, so if you first created it with Python 3.4, that's what you'll get.
- shell scripts expect bash to be at /bin/bash (mine is at
- /usr/local/bin/bash)
Which shell scripts? Mailman itself doesn't ship any shell scripts, so again, I'm guessing you're talking about the ones in your venv?
- mailman expects postmap to be at /usr/sbin/postmap (mine is at
- /usr/local/sbin/postmap)
That one's easy. If you run `mailman conf | grep '\[mta\]' you will see a setting for the [mta]configuration variable, e.g.
[mta] configuration: python:mailman.config.postfix
The python: says that the lookup scheme is via Python import path, where the
mailman.config part says that it's in the mailman.config package, and the
postfix part says that the configuration file is postfix.cfg inside that
path.
If you look in postfix.cfg, you'll see a postmap_command setting, and this
is what points to /usr/sbin/postmap by default. Change that to point to
/usr/local/sbin/postmap and restart Mailman.
