No mailman list
Mailman requires a default mailman
list to be created. If your distro didn't do it already:
newlist mailman root@localhost.localdomain PaSsWoRd service mailman restart
Debian Wheezy->Jessie upgrade
Debian applied a patch for Mailman that unifies UTF-8 support. Unfortunately this can cause issue if you list had accents e.g. in the list descriptions.
To fix this:
- make sure you upgraded
/var/lib/mailman/messages/
(in particular if you reused/var/lib/mailman/
from your previous installation) - Use something like the following to convert the configuration of problematic lists:
do config_list -o- $listname | iconv -f ISO-8859-9 -t UTF-8 > tmpconf; config_list -i tmpconf $listname
- use
/var/lib/mailman/bin/unshunt
to deliver mails blocked in/var/lib/mailman/qfiles/shunt/
due to encoding issues
