[Pkg-exim4-users] pipe_transport unset in system_aliases router

[James Riach]

Hi Phil,

I followed some guide to setup mailman but not sure which one, it works 
so maybe posting what I have setup will help?

First I define a bunch of mailman macros at the top of my config:

# Mailman Macros
MM_HOME = /var/lib/mailman
MM_UID = list
MM_GID = list
MM_WRAP = MM_HOME/mail/mailman
MM_LISTCHK = MM_HOME/lists/${lc::$local_part}/config.pck

Then in the routers section I have:

mailman_router:
    driver            = accept
    domains        = jriach.co.uk
    require_files        = MM_LISTCHK
    local_part_suffix_optional
    local_part_suffix    = -admin :\
                -bounces : -bounces+* :\
                -confirm : -confirm+* :\
                -join : -leave :\
                -owner : -request :\
                -subscribe : -unsubscribe
    transport        = mailman_send

Then in the transport section I have:

mailman_send:
    driver            = pipe
    command        = MM_WRAP \
                '${if def:local_part_suffix \
                {${sg{$local_part_suffix}{-(\\w+)(\\+.*)?}{\$1}}} \
                {post}}' \
                $local_part
    current_directory    = MM_HOME
    home_directory    = MM_HOME
    user            = MM_UID
    group            = MM_GID

I hope that helps, it works an absolute treat for me :)
