Where can I find additional config files?

[jlgarnier]

Hi all,

I've installed Mailman (mySQL db) and cannot find any mailman-extra.cfg / settings_local.py files. Should these files be created from scratch after the containers have been created or should docker-compose also install them?

In the first case, where can I find any example file? I want to configure mailman to send mails through the mail server provided by our hosting provider (OVH) and cannot see if the standard env variables in the docker-compose file are enough to perform this redirection.

Thanks in advance for any help!

@jlgarnier Those files need to be created as needed, I don't believe they are auto-created by the docker-compose or the container images.

After the .4.0 series, my mailman-extra.cfg basically became empty. The only thing I configure in there now is: [mailman] site_owner: [email protected] Prior to .4.0, I also configured the MTA stuff. That is no longer needed in a default configuration, as the new containers automagically detect the IPs. If you want to override the MTA stuff, you can put the below in /opt/mailman/core/mailman-extra.cfg. Just override what you need to, such as the 'smtp_host' variable. Take out the rest of the lines. [mta] incoming: mailman.mta.postfix.LMTP outgoing: mailman.mta.deliver.deliver lmtp_host: 172.19.199.2 lmtp_port: 8024 smtp_host: 172.19.199.1 smtp_port: 25 configuration: /etc/postfix-mailman.cfg

You can set the mta (ie. postfix) in the docker-compose file, but I don't believe you can override the other stuff in there. I think you have to use mailman-extra.cfg to do it.
