Mailman 3 Service and Troubleshooting

Service Configuration and Installation

There are two services needed:

systemctl status mailman3   # AKA mailman-core you only need this for lists to work
systemctl status mailmanweb # AKA hyperkitty, postorius, uwsgi, django hell, needed for the web interface

Manual Start and Restart

Only do this when manually troubleshooting otherwise this will conflict with systemctl initiated services.

Basics

• Mailman 3 relies on its own mailman user to handle the processing of the emails.

su mailman     # switch to the mailman user
cd             # make sure you cd to mailman's home !IMPORTANT

• You're now ready to control mailman
• Everything is handled with the mailman command line tool. Do not run these commands with another user!

mailman status       # report on the service
mailman start        # start mailman
mailman stop         # stop mailman
mailman restart      # stop and start mailman shorcut
