parent[Maintainer Update] lang/pike73 update to pike 7.4.13 (diff)
- Update to version 2.2.1, which includes a fix to a cross-site scripting
vulnerability. - Add a file, installed to $DOCSDIR, with more explicit post-installation instructions. - Update $PKGMESSAGE to point to this new file. - Add more explicit warnings in various places that MAIL_GID *must* be set at build time if Mailman is to be used with an alternate (non-Sendmail) MTA. - Bring port in line with other similar ports by NOT explicitly depending on Apache. This is both more maintainable and allows the user greater scope in setting up a custom configuration, including the use of an alternative web server. (Also, Mailman _can_ be used without a web server.) - Clean up which documentation files get installed to $DOCSDIR.

+CONTENTS:
+* VERY IMPORTANT NOTE
+* IMPORTANT NOTE: Using Mailman with alternate MTAs
+1) General post-installation instructions
+2) Integrating Mailman with your web server
+3) Integrating Mailman with various mail servers
+ 3.1) Sendmail
+ 3.2) Exim
+ 3.3) Postfix
+ 3.4) Qmail
+
+
+VERY IMPORTANT NOTE
+
+The Mailman port has a number of build time options. Getting the values of
+some of these right is CRUCIAL if you want your Mailman installation to work!
+
+To see a list of build time options, go to the Mailman port's directory
+(/usr/ports/mail/mailman by default) and perform a "make options".
+
+
+IMPORTANT NOTE: Using Mailman with alternate MTAs
+
+By default, the Mailman port is configured to work with Sendmail. If you
+wish to use Mailman with an alternate MTA, you MUST set the value of MAIL_GID
+correctly when building the port. Perform a "make options" in the port
+directory (as explained above) to see a list of possible values for MAIL_GID.
+
+If you have installed Mailman from a pre-compiled package (e.g. from
+a FreeBSD distribution CD), chances are that the package had been built with
+the default value for MAIL_GID and will only work with Sendmail. You will
+probably have to build the Mailman port yourself to get it to work with your
+MTA.
+
+Further down in this document you will find sections dealing with most
+popular MTAs.
+
+
+1) General post-installation instructions
+
+ You should find two files named "INSTALL" and "README" in the same
+ directory as this file. You should read them for general
+ post-installation instructions. Bear in mind that the installation of
+ Mailman from the FreeBSD port or package may have already taken care of
+ many of the steps you may read about in these files. Also, not everything
+ in these files is necessarily relevant to the FreeBSD port.
+
+
+2) Integrating Mailman with your web server
+
+ You need to set up your webserver to find Mailman's CGI scripts. The
+ Mailman port works well with either Apache 1.3.x or Apache 2.x as
+ installed from their respective ports (www/apache13 and www/apache2).
+
+ If you're using Apache, you need to add at least two lines to your
+ httpd.conf. Assuming that you installed the Mailman port in the default
+ location (/usr/local/mailman), they are:
+
+ ScriptAlias /mailman "/usr/local/mailman/cgi-bin"
+ Alias /pipermail "/usr/local/mailman/archives/public"
+
+ If you installed the Mailman port to a non-standard location, replace
+ "/usr/local/mailman" as appropriate.
+
+ If your Apache is configured for multiple virtual servers, ensure that the
+ above configuration lines appear in all the relevant <VirtualHost>
+ sections.
+
+ Remember to restart your Apache server after you have changed httpd.conf!
+
+ No specific instructions exist at this time on how to integrate the
+ Mailman port with web servers other than Apache. Please submit any such
+ information to the maintainer of the Mailman port.
+
+
+3) Integrating Mailman with various mail servers
+
+
+3.1) Sendmail
+
+ No modification of MAIL_GID should be required when building the Mailman
+ port. The port is designed to work with Sendmail by default.
+
+ Review the instructions found in README.SENDMAIL in the same directory
+ as this file.
+
+ No further instructions exist at this time on how to integrate the
+ Mailman port with Sendmail. Please submit any such information to the
+ maintainer of the Mailman port.
+
+
+3.2) Exim
+
+ The following instructions assume that Exim has been set up from the
+ FreeBSD Exim port, and that it runs with a fairly default configuration.
+ Specifically, it assumes that Exim runs under the default UID and GID as
+ configured by the FreeBSD port. In other words, that the following
+ lines appear in Exim's configure file:
+
+ exim_user = mailnull
+ exim_group = mail
+
+ For Exim 3.x, the value of MAIL_GID has to be set to 'nobody' (or 65534)
+ when building the Mailman port.
+
+ For Exim 4.x, the value of MAIL_GID has to be set to 'mail' (or 6) when
+ building the Mailman port.
+
+ For example, to build and install the Mailman port for Exim4, perform
+ the following in /usr/ports/mail/mailman:
+
+ # make MAIL_GID=6 install
+
+ Next, follow the instructions in REAME.EXIM found in the same directory
+ as this file. You can add the macros, transport and router found in
+ README.EXIM verbatim to your Exim's configure file.
+
+ Note that README.EXIM as installed with the FreeBSD port of Mailman has
+ been patched, and should be trusted over a version of the file obtained
+ from another source. Specifically, when adding the macros found in
+ README.EXIM, you should set the MAILMAN_USER and MAILMAN_GROUP to the
+ same values as those for Exim, namely:
+
+ MAILMAN_USER=mailnull
+ MAILMAN_GROUP=mail
+
+ Once you have finished editing configure, remember to re-HUP your Exim
+ server:
+
+ # kill -1 `cat /var/run/exim.pid`
+
+ Now, start Mailman's qrunner daemon:
+
+ # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailman.sh start
+
+ Troubleshooting: If you ever see an error message such as the following
+ in your Exim's mainlog, it's a sure sign that Exim and Mailman disagree
+ about the GID under which mail is delivered:
+
+ ** testlist@your.host.com R=mailman_router T=mailman_transport:
+ Child process of mailman_transport transport returned 2 from command:
+ /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman
+
+ In this case, ensure that you have followed the instructions in this
+ section to the letter.
+
+
+3.3) Postfix
+
+ The value of MAIL_GID has to be set to 'nobody' (or 65534) when building
+ the Mailman port. This has been confirmed by the maintainer of the
+ FreeBSD port of Postfix.
+
+ Review the instructions found in README.POSTFIX in the same directory
+ as this file.
+
+ No further instructions exist at this time on how to integrate the
+ Mailman port with Postfix. Please submit any such information to the
+ maintainer of the Mailman port.
+
+
+3.4) Qmail
+
+ The maintainer of the Mailman port has no information at this time as to
+ the required value of MAIL_GID for Mailman to work with Qmail. :-(
+
+ Review the instructions found in README.QMAIL in the same directory as
+ this file.
+
+ No further instructions exist at this time on how to integrate the
+ Mailman port with Qmail. Please submit any such information to the
+ maintainer of the Mailman port.
