Hello everyone. I am having a little issue with mailman. I’ve installed and configured mailman for [mulyoo.net](http://mulyoo.net) which works. On this particular server the software is Ubuntu 10 (Lucid). On a different server, I did the same installation and configuration, but this server is running Ubuntu 8 (Hardy). However, when I visit this server ([mulyoo.org](http://mulyoo.org)), I get a bad gateway error. Can someone help me troubleshoot and figure out what may be wrong? If it helps, I used a tutorial similar to this for installation and configuration: [http://e-healthexpert.org/book/export/html/430](http://e-healthexpert.org/book/export/html/430) ---

Hello, Igor. This is what’s in the error log: 2011/02/10 10:45:25 [error] 24949#0: \*4 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 205.172.21.53, server: [mulyoo.org](http://mulyoo.org), request: “GET /mailman/ HTTP/1.1”, upstream: " [http://174.142.104.180:8000/mailman/listinfo](http://174.142.104.180:8000/mailman/listinfo)", host: “[mulyoo.org](http://mulyoo.org)” 2011/02/10 10:45:25 [error] 24949#0: \*4 open() “/usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman/favicon.ico” failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 205.172.21.53, server: [mulyoo.org](http://mulyoo.org), request: “GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1”, host: “[mulyoo.org](http://mulyoo.org)” I think I may have found the issue though. When I do “telnet 174.142.104.180 8000”, I get connect refused. So, I’ve contacted my hosting company to see how I can remedy this. Or if you have a suggestion I am all ears (it is an unmanaged dedicated server). ---

Thanks everyone. My issue has been resolved, but now I have a new issue and its with emails. This is the bounce back I get: Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: ``` removed_email_address@domain.invalid ``` Technical details of permanent failure: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 554 554 5.7.1 [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): Relay access denied (state 14). My records are below: [mulyoo.org](http://mulyoo.org). IN MX 10 [mail.mulyoo.org](http://mail.mulyoo.org). mail IN A 72.55.148.59 ---

This is the bounce back I get: Point your web browser at [http://mulyoo.org:8000/](http://mulyoo.org:8000/) Click the “mailman” link. You’re talking directly to thttpd; there is no nginx involvement here. (Unless you intend for that to be the case, you may want to tighten up the config.) You’ll probably find better help on mailman, or your smtp server, resources. > The error that the other server > returned was: 554 554 5.7.1 [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): Relay access > denied (state 14). You’ll probably want to make sure that the smtp server knows that it should handle mail for the domain [mulyoo.org](http://mulyoo.org). There’s almost certainly a (non-nginx) manual showing how to do that. Good luck with it, ## f Francis D. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

Ah, thank you. I didn’t even think about smtp, and I am sure that smtp is the issue. ---

Ok, I have postfix installed and these are the steps I took: sudo aptitude -y install postfix telnet mailx sudo nano /etc/aliases root: some\_value sudo newaliases sudo nano /etc/postfix/main.cf ============================================================ myorigin = $mydomain mydestination = $mulyoo, localhost.$mulyoo, localhost mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart > From what I gathered, postfix should be able to send email, but after > doing the steps above, I still can’t send email through mailman.

Thanks, I am actually trying this one last tutorial: [http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL](http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL) If it still doesn’t work, then I will take your suggestion and try exim. Thanks. ---

apt-get install exim4 I was having issues of a Wordpress script not emailing and switching to exim4 fixed it rather than dealing with Sendmail.

Thanks. ## That will only complicate your life. If you can’t get Postfix working with the default setup, adding LDAP and MySQL into the mix surely isn’t going to make things any easier. Exim isn’t going to magically fix this problem either. Installing Mailman usually “Just Works”. This is a Mailman and MTA (Postfix) integration issue. There are a few ways that could be done. I know this one [http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node13.html](http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node13.html) works. I’ve used other techniques, too.
