Hi,

This is my first experience using mailman. I recently downloaded and setup mailman3 suite which comes with hyperkitty. I don't really understand why the email is not working. I had an external smtp server (mymailserver.com) residing on different IP from my web server that hosts mailman stuff.

I had modified settings.py with debug = False and added the following:

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend' EMAIL_HOST = 'mymailserver.com' EMAIL_PORT = 25

These should be OK, but they are only for messages from Django, not for list mail.

Also if mymailserver.com requires authentication, you may need to set EMAIL_HOST_USER and EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD.

I also added these inside mailman.cfg

[mta] outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver lmtp_host: 127.0.0.1 lmtp_port: 8024

The above are all defaults.

smtp_host: mymailserver.com smtp_port: 25

Again, if mymailserver.com requires authentication, you need to set smtp_user and smtp_pass.

Thanks for your help! I check the logs but there isn't anything. When I sign up, nothing happens and I can't figure out why?

Is Mailman running? If so, and there's nothing in logs, it is probably using some other (default) config and logging somewhere other than where you think.
