DeadmanDAO Mailman Build-out (Sixth Pass)

• 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.
• MailingListDeadmanFourthPass: Deb 10, Mailman 2. Repeatedly failed sendmail test (as have/would the others, though I was inconsistently testing)
• MailingListDeadmanFifthPass: Frustrated. Using traxel.com's install of Mailman. Successful, if unsatisfying.
• Sixth Pass: Deb 10, two instances, more relaxed exploration now that the traxel list is working.

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:

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

diffie.DeadmanDAO.com Working

FWIW, sendmail is now working on Diffie, running Deb 10 and Postfix (no Mailman installed). I suspect there is a grace period after re-install during which Sendmail / port 25 is blocked. It may flip at midnight, based on one email I saw come through after having been queued for a while.

I also created a second instance at Interserver yesterday, though it is running Deb 9 and does not have an SPF record - or even a name (presumably it will be "hellman", obviously). I will flip it to Deb 10 and add it to the Deadmandao.com SPF record.

Potential uses for the deadmandao servers:

• Kanban
• Calendar / ToDo
