[drupal-support] Listhandler.module + Mailman + Postfix question

[Dan Robinson]

I've just set this up myself - this is the correct way to do it (I
believe) -

1) Create a POP/IMAP mail account to be used by mailhandler - that is
the "E-Mail Address".
2) Create a list
3) Populate "Second E-Mail Address" with the address of the list.
4) Add the mail account from 1) as a subscriber to the list.
5) Configure the mail to fetch - mailbox, etc.
6) Specify the "Default Command" (e.g. "tid: 16") to insert the mail
into the correct forum.

So what should happen is that if you send a mail to the list - it is
distributed by the list to the account referred to in 1) above.
Mailhandler will fetch it and post it into the forum.  When posting to
the Forum an email will be sent to the list - when Mailhandler "sees"
that email (in the inbox of the defined mail account from 1) ) it will
ignore it because it will match the message id in the mail header.  I
think it works - except be aware of the following bugs -

I hope I've got this right.
