I eventually got all this working. The script requires a
couple of modifications to work with the revised mailman
HFS layout adopted by RedHat subsequent to the original
script's creation.
Add this variable to postfix-to-mailman.py:
MailmanScripts = "/usr/lib/mailman" # Where mailman
scripts reside
Change these lines:
if os.path.exists(local):
os.execv(MailmanScripts + "/mail/mailman",
(MailmanScripts + "/mail/mailman", type,
local))
And you are good to go. As stipulated in the script there
is no need to create entries in the aliases map. New
mailman lists are picked up automatically.
Otherwise one may simply create a link in /var/lib/mailman
to point to /usr/lib/mailman and continue to use the
MailmanHome variable everywhere. But changing the script
is cleaner I should think.
