I had waited, hoping this would be corrected in the recent plesk updates but apparently it was not...

apparently plesk's script for creating the aliases necessary for mailman to work right with qmail are only creating a few of the aliases and not all of them.. this allows mailman to work but breaks the new mailman 2.1's bounce detection features because the listname-bounces alias is not being created...

when i run /var/mailman/bin/newlist and create a script via the shell mailman outputs the following:

CODE
[root@someserver bin]# ./newlist

Enter the name of the list: testing

Enter the email of the person running the list: [email]myemail@mydomain.net[/email]

Initial testing 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:



## testing mailing list

testing:              "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman post testing"

testing-admin:        "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman admin testing"

testing-bounces:      "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman bounces testing"

testing-confirm:      "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman confirm testing"

testing-join:         "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman join testing"

testing-leave:        "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman leave testing"

testing-owner:        "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman owner testing"

testing-request:      "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman request testing"

testing-subscribe:    "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe testing"

testing-unsubscribe:  "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe testing"


here you can see i used the listname 'testing'

i then removed that list via /var/mailman/bin/rmlist command and created the same list through plesks web based interface. but sure enough it only created 4 of the 10 aliases that mailman is expecting (as seen above)

if i do an 'ls -al' in /var/qmail/mailnames/mydomain.com then i only see:
CODE
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           66 Aug 16 02:56 .qmail-testing

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           71 Aug 16 02:56 .qmail-testing-admin

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           15 Aug 16 02:56 .qmail-testing-owner

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           69 Aug 16 02:56 .qmail-testing-request


those aliases will allow mailman to work but it when the list gets a bounced email back to the listname-bounces address then that in turn bounces and i get MAILER-DAEMON errors sent to root@ so you can be sure that bounce detection and automatic disabling of bouncing users is broken..

so... is plesk aware of this issue? is there a fix coming? can anyone suggest a workaround that does not involve manually typing those aliases in or giving my domain admins shell access???

thanks,
