hooking up mailman and sendmail
Hi. So, I have sendmail as my mta and I want mailman to use it. So far, I have a local delivery agent able to send on port 8024. So, what do I have to tell mailman to use sendmail and listen on port 8024 and to send on port 25?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

For sendmail, see <https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.ht...>

That post does not answer my question, it applies only to mailman2 and is a big mess. I was hoping to use lmtp, which sendmail will use and mailman seems to have some facilities to use it as well.
Thanks.

Look, John, I understand that you're frustrated because Gentoo doesn't maintain their Mailman 3 package to the point where it's turnkey on your system, but that's not something you can blame on us. What you can do is pay us the respect of assuming we know what we're talking about, and genuinely want you to get your system set up to *your* preferences even though we're not familiar with the OS distro you chose. And you can read our posts to the end, as well as the documentation that various people have put hours into writing.
The point of citing the post is that, yes, John, that post already answered your question. No, it did not deal only with Mailman 2.
Here's the answer to this question for the third time:
For sendmail, see <https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/mta.ht...>
Please read it, and if you have any questions after that, we'll try to answer them.
Regards,

What that post describes is for Mailman 2.1, how to hijack Mailman's generated aliases for Postfix and apply them to sendmail. The hope is that someone who understands how to configure sendmail can take those ideas and apply them to the Postfix transport and domain mappings generated in var/data/postfix_lmtp and var/data/postfix_domains to generate what is needed for sendmail.
Hopefully, once people figure out how to do this, they will inform us of the solution and we can update the docs.

Nothing. By default, Mailman's LMTP runner (server) listens for incoming mail via LMTP on localhost port 8024 and Mailman sends outgoing mail via SMTP to localhost port 25.
