New page

[[MailingList]]

= DeadmanDAO Mailman Build-out (Fourth Attempt) =

* [[MailingListDeadmanFirstPass]] (Deb 10, Mailman 3: installed Apache and Certbot before Mailman, which made it hard to deploy the Mailman web console)
* [[MailingListDeadmanSecondPass]] (Deb 10, Mailman 3: had trouble getting the Snap/PIP/VirtualEnv version of Mailman to let me in as an administrator)
* [[MailingListDeadmanThirdPass]] Deb 9, Mailman 2, had trouble getting the Mailman executables to execute as cgi's.
* Fourth Pass: Deb 10, Mailman 2.

== Create Instance ==

=== Interserver Web Interface ===
# go to interserver
# create an instance
## Single Slice ($6/mo at this time)
## Debian 9 (Deb 9 has Mailman 2, Deb 10 has Mailman 3)
## KVM
# set reverse DNS to diffie.deadmandao.com
# Note the IP address

=== Update to Latest ===

Log in root@ip.address using password you provided

<pre>
apt-get update
apt-get -y upgrade
apt-get -y dist-upgrade # if needed
reboot
</pre>

=== Add User Account ===

Log in root@ip.address

<pre>
apt-get -y install sudo
adduser bob
usermod -G sudo bob
exit
</pre>

Log in to bob@ip.address

== Set SPF ==
<pre>
sudo apt-get install net-tools
sudo ifconfig
</pre>

That'll give you the ip4 and ip6 addresses, which go into the DNS text record:

* v=spf1 ip4:66.23.226.216 ip6:fe80::216:3eff:fe24:10e1 -all

== Set Other DNS ==

* A Record, diffie, 66.23.226.216
* A Record, @, 66.23.226.216
* CNAME Record, www, diffie.deadmandao.com
* CNAME Record, mail, diffie.deadmandao.com
* TXT Record, diffe, v=spf1 ip4:66.23.226.216 ip6:fe80::216:3eff:fe24:10e1 -all
* MX Record, deadmandao.com, mail.deadmandao.com, 10

== Set Hostname ==

<pre>
sudo apt-get install emacs-nox
sudo emacs -nw /etc/hostname
> diffie
sudo emacs -nw /etc/hosts
> 66.23.226.216 diffie.deadmandao.com diffie
sudo reboot
</pre>

Log in to bob@diffie.deadmandao.com

<pre>
hostname
hostname --all-fqdn
dnsdomainname
</pre>

== SMTP Server ==

<pre>
sudo apt-get install postfix
</pre>

* Internet Site
* deadmandao.com is the host domain
* send a test email

<pre>
echo "Subject: sendmail test" | /usr/sbin/sendmail -v emailaddress
</pre>

Had trouble with IPv6 in Debian 9 ("Network is unreachable"). Used the following in main.cf to switch to IPv4 only.

<pre>
# inet_protocols = all
inet_protocols = ipv4
</pre>

== Mailman Install ==

=== install ===

<pre>
sudo apt install mailman
</pre>

=== init list ===

<pre>
sudo newlist
> roundtable
</pre>

It tells me that I should put the following in aliases:

<pre>
## roundtable mailing list
roundtable: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post roundtable"
