mailman installation (bug in installer?)

[zeki79]

hi there
- i installed suse 10.0 and plesk 8.01

after the installation i het these:

Please remember to run 'SuSEconfig --module mailman' to configure mailman

i do that and i get:

db:/source/plesk/8.1/PSA_8.0.1 # SuSEconfig --module mailman
Starting SuSEconfig, the SuSE Configuration Tool...
Running module mailman only
Reading /etc/sysconfig and updating the system...

One of my customers is running Debian 3.1 and has the same problem while creating a list. It would be great if someone knows the solutions for this problem.

 

[cosito]

Have same problem (SuSE 10.0-64 / Plesk 8.01)

 

[synec]

I've the same problem on Suse 10.1-64 / Plesk 8.1.
None of the solutions in the KB works.

Someony here, who solved this issue?

As the error suggests ,

WARNING: Postfix seems not to be installed, but /etc/sysconfig/mailman
has MAILMAN_MTA="Postfix". Fix this!


nano /etc/sysconfig/mailman

search for postfix or MAILMAN_MTA and change from postfix to Manual

Restart mailman service from /etc/init.d/

Try to add a new mailing list from plesk should work fine..
