[Mailman-Users] Issue with postfix-to-mailman.py (Command died with status 127)

[Matthieu Berjon]

Hello to all,

I met an issue in trying to set up Mailman. Here is the error message I
get from postfix:

Command died with status 127:
"/usr/local/mailman/postfix-to-mailman.py". Command
output: env: python: No such file or directory


I have a working postfix server running (at least, that's what I believe
as emails for user account works). When I sent a message a message to
the list, postfix seems to manage correctly the email and doesn't
complain about it.

My guess is that I probably missed something obvious or didn't
understand something in the configuration.

What I'm using:

- FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p6
- Postfix 2.11.4,1
- Mailman 2.1.20

Here some outputs that maybe would help.

postconf -n

alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases, hash:/usr/local/mailman/data/aliases
command_directory = /usr/local/sbin
config_directory = /usr/local/etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/local/libexec/postfix
data_directory = /var/db/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
debugger_command = PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin ddd
$daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5

html_directory = /usr/local/share/doc/postfix
inet_protocols = ipv4
mail_owner = postfix
mailman_destination_recipient_limit = 1
mailq_path = /usr/local/bin/mailq
manpage_directory = /usr/local/man

unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550

/etc/postfix/master.cf

smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
mailman unix - n n - - pipe

${nexthop} ${user}

# Configuration variables - Change these for your site if necessary.
MailmanHome = "/usr/local/mailman"; # Mailman home directory.
MailmanOwner = "***@earswideopen.net"; # Postmaster and abuse
mail recipient.

By the way, this file belongs to mailman:mailman


I'm quite lost on this error and didn't find any information about this
kind of issue lately. If someone has some ideas, that would be much
appreciated. If I forgot to mention something or if you need any more
clarification, please ask, I will be more than happy to help.

Have a great Sunday,

Look at


http://wiki.list.org/DOC/How%20do%20I%20configure%20postfix_to_mailman.py%3F

That postfix_to_mailman module is not part of the SourceForge
Mailman; it has been added by Debian (and Ubuntu) as part of their
Mailman package. The basic response that you will get from subscribers
to this list is that this module should not be used. I have not looked
at the module code, so I have no idea what "problem" it was written to
solve.

As a related side issue - When I was managing a Mailman system on
an Ubuntu server, I researched the patches in the Ubuntu package.
Many were not documented, and I could find nothing about the problem(s)
they were written to solve. And one patch removes a library that is
sometimes needed. I decided at that time that it was better for me to
create my own Ubuntu package from the SourceForge source and install
that. If I had a problem, I could post it on this list and get
expert advice.

Your problem is that env is complaining that it cannot find python.

Therefore I would conclude that there is no python in Postfix's search
path.

Is the above missing something? I suspect the above is actually preceded
by something like

#! /usr/bin/env python

and env is complaining that it can't find 'python' because there is no
'python' in $PATH (i.e. Postfix's search path).

Also, please read <http://wiki.list.org/x/15564817> and the things
linked from the last paragraph thereof.

Thanks a lot to all of you. You let me to understand that
postfix-to-mailman.py was unecessary and not part of inital project. I
removed it from the equation, updated the postfix configuration and it
worked like a charm.

Many thanks to all of you :)

Have a good evening,
