MailingList

Create Instance

Interserver Web Interface

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

Update to Latest

Log in root@ip.address using password you provided

apt-get update
apt-get -y upgrade
apt-get -y dist-upgrade # if needed
reboot

Add User Account

Log in root@ip.address

apt-get -y install sudo
adduser bob
usermod -G sudo bob
exit

Log in to bob@ip.address

Set SPF

sudo apt-get install net-tools
sudo ifconfig

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

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

Log in to bob@diffie.deadmandao.com

hostname
hostname --all-fqdn
dnsdomainname

SMTP Server

sudo apt-get install postfix
  • Internet Site
  • deadmandao.com is the host domain
  • send a test email

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

# inet_protocols = all
inet_protocols = ipv4

Mailman Install

install

sudo apt install mailman

init list

sudo newlist
> roundtable

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

## roundtable mailing list
roundtable:              "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post roundtable"
roundtable-admin:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin roundtable"
roundtable-bounces:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces roundtable"
roundtable-confirm:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm roundtable"
roundtable-join:         "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join roundtable"
roundtable-leave:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave roundtable"
roundtable-owner:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner roundtable"
roundtable-request:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request roundtable"
roundtable-subscribe:    "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe roundtable"
roundtable-unsubscribe:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe roundtable"
Enter the name of the list: test
Enter the email of the person running the list: bob@traxel.com
Initial test password: 
To finish creating your mailing list, you must edit your /etc/aliases (or
equivalent) file by adding the following lines, and possibly running the
`newaliases' program:

## test mailing list
test:              "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post test"
test-admin:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman admin test"
test-bounces:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman bounces test"
test-confirm:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman confirm test"
test-join:         "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman join test"
test-leave:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman leave test"
test-owner:        "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner test"
test-request:      "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman request test"
test-subscribe:    "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe test"
test-unsubscribe:  "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe test"

Version 2 Instructions for Mailman
