running mailman via apache proxy

Submitted by jopebw on Fri, 12/04/2009 - 10:23 Pro Licensee

I have a Debian 5 system with Virtualmin Pro installed. Because the ports 10000 and 20000 are blocked from outside i have an apache webserver with mod_proxy on another server to access Virtualmin and Usermin. Everything works fine - with one big exception: The mailman stuff is not working because for mailman many URL's are redirected to the virtual domain on port 10000.

Can this be changed ?

Yes .. the next release of the Mailman plugin will add an option to re-write the absolute URLs Mailman creates to match your proxy. Let me know if you'd like a pre-release version ..

Thanks for the fast response!

Glad to hear that this issue will be fixed in the next release! When will you publish the release? If it will be soon then i do not need a pre-release - if it will take some time then i would be happy to get it.

Will this update also update mailman to the 2.1.12 version? The mailman website (http://www.list.org/index.html) says: "The current stable GNU Mailman version is 2.1.12, released on 23-Feb-2009."

My Virtualmin says 2.1.9 is the "up to date" version.

No, that would be separate .. in fact, VIrtualmin just uses the mailman package supplied by your Linux distribution (Debian), so they would have to provide a new package for the 2.1.12 version.

The issue described in the original post should have been fixed in the most recent Mailman plugin, version 5.7-1 released on Jan 3rd. If you've upgraded to it, and are still having trouble, let us know and we can look into that.

I'm not shure if I have the same problem. My Lists are at lists.domain.com, so I set this Hostname in the configuration. The welcome mail sent to the mailinglist member is correct, it points to http://lists.domain.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/listname. But the Listinfo page has the :10000 port in every link. How can I remove this? The package webmin-virtualmin-mailman has version 5.8

tobru - the port 10000 in every link is expected, assuming that the links work.

I found the solution: I changed the config option "Base URL for links in Mailman UI" to the URL I expect. Now it works as it should... I think that there is some documentation missing for the Mailman Module, am I right?

Great!

I will add some help pages for those config options. Most people don't use them, as they are happy with the default of accessing Mailman via port 10000.

I am still missing the documentation for this feature. How do I exactly configure this to work?
