How do I enable piping in /etc/aliases? The default configuration in Debian is that piping is disabled. I think that Mailman will start to work if I enable it. |

Which mailserver? In postfix, it's enabled by default. Also, if you're not already committed to a particular MTA, postfix has nice automatic support for mailman (or, vice-versa, mailman make support in postfix nice.) |

I have Exim4 installed. Do you know how to make it work with Exim4 by enabling piping? I didn't think the piping thingy was tied to Exim4 and that it could be solved by replacing it. I'll see if that can be an option. Thanks for the tip. |

Take a look at this. In particular the comment where it says "In fact in Debian Sarge's standard exim configuration pipes in /etc/aliases are not honored anyway." The main article plus the rest of that comment may solve your problem. |

I went with the "install postfix instead of exim4" option and it worked out of the box. Thanks everyone for your help. |
