I've successfully installed mailman, mailhander.module, and the listhandler.module on my Debian Woody box running Postfix.
Everything works, except that mailman intercepts all the incoming mail to the list and so the mail never gets to the mbox file. Therefore, the mailhandler.module never gets a chance to post the incoming mail to the forum.
How do I configure mailhandler and/or postfix to send the e-mail to the mailbox I have listed in the mailhandler settings page?
Thanks.
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.

Did you configure mailman to intercept all mails to that particular domain? Mailhandler needs to be subscribed to the list in question. You can use any email address as long as you can give mailhandler the correct access info for the INBOX.
I've no idea about postfix, sorry.

Ah, YES! Of course. I think I see how it works now and I see what the INSTALL.txt file means by "dummy" account. Please tell me if the following is correct:
1) You register a "dummy" e-mail address with mailman. 2) Then, when mailman blasts out an e-mail, it goes to to the dummy account. 3) Mailhandler is programmed to check that dummy account's mailbox and posts the contents of the mailbox to the forum
Is this right?
By the way, you are the maintainer, right? I found a bug. I'll report it.

Please check if it is mailhandler or listhandler related. The two often get confused.
