[mlmmj] Help setting up my first mailing list

Hi guys,

I'm having some trouble setting up a mailing list with mlmmj, I'm running 1.2.18.1 from the EPEL repo on CentOS 7. I have set my smtp server to pipe emails destined for the mailing list as so:

|/bin/mlmmj-receive -L /opt/mlmmj/mylist/

Everything seems to be going well, the email is received, but then I get errors when it tries to send a reply. The log looks as follows:

/bin/mlmmj-process[6791]: mlmmj-process.c:828: Found To: right2-general@right2.org: Success
/bin/mlmmj-send[6791]: mlmmj-send.c:925: Could not prepare headers: No such file or directory

The only info I can find in the list directory is a file in the queue directory which seems to be the version of my email that the list is supposed to receive. It has the following headers:

Envelope-To: <right2-general@right2.org>
Authentication-Results: email.right2.org; ; ^M
Received: from email.right2.org (garum.right2.org [178.62.6.212])^M

Any ideas? The ^M worries me but I don't know if it's a major issue? Maybe I'm missing a header?

Cheers,

Joe

Hi!

The "No such file or directory" is a known red herring.

I do think it's the ^M.

Suspect Haraka doesn't convert the CRLF line endings in SMTP to unix LF-only line 
endings before piping to external programs as other MTAs do. Looks like some parts 
of Mlmmj cope with this and other parts don't.

Try piping the mail through tr(1) to filter out the CRs and see if it works:

|tr -d '\r' | /bin/mlmmj-receive -L /opt/mlmmj/mylist/

If it doesn't like the pipe in aliases, try making a script that does the piping 
and referring to that in aliases rather than mlmmj-receive directly.

Cheers,

Ben.

Thanks for the swift reply Ben, you were right about the line endings I now having a working mailing list!

Great suggestions, but Haraka had it all in hand.

The code that does the pipe to external commands is a plugin for Haraka that I wrote myself[1]. The interface for using the content of an email in Haraka is a stream and it takes the following option:

* line_endings (default: "\r\n")

All I had to do was pass "\n" as the value for that option and all was solved :)

Thanks again!

Joe
