SimpleList

A simple mailing list tool designed for Postfix. Re-inventing the wheel for a mailing list, but MailMan seemed like overkill for a simple announcement mailing list.

Installation

• Copy over simplelist.py to a location of your choice, /etc/postfix will be used for further examples.
• Copy simplelist.yaml to /etc/postfix.
• If you have SELinux configured, run chcon -v -t postfix_local_exec_t /etc/postfix/simplelist.py

Setup A Mailing List

• Add a line to your /etc/aliases for the mailing list:

sysop: "|/etc/postfix/simplelist.py sysop"

• Run newalias
• Edit simplelist.yaml to your needs.
  • gid sends the mail to all members of that Group ID
  • users is a list of email addresses
  • allowed_users is the mail address of users allowed to send to the list.
