setting mailman.cfg via /opt/mailman/core/mailman-extra.cfg failed

[y0va]

For exchanging the standard mta config from exim to postfix, the proposed way in the readme doesn't work for me. If I create a file /opt/mailman/core/mailman-extra.cfg with the postfix configuration, it doesn't show up in the mailman conf after restarting the container.

Using /opt/mailman/mailman.cfgas proposed here, didn't work neither. The only way I was successful in including the postfix config is to link a file as volume into the docker, and set MAILMAN_CONFIG_FILE accordingly.

https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman/blob/master/core/docker-entrypoint.sh#L152 It should be added to the configuration that is used by Mailman, it is appended to the config generated at runtime.

The 2nd part is wrong, thanks for pointing it out. I will update it's documentation. /opt/mailman/core/mailman-extra.cfg is the only one that should be added to config.

Docs is correct in one place, the one in core/Readme.md isn't.

I'd need more details about why it doesn't work if you place configs at /opt/mailman/core/mailman-extra.cfg.

Can you please share the output of docker logs mailman-core after you started/re-started the container?

Thank you for your help, it works for me now. I was a bit puzzled by your usage of host directories in the docs. For me it would be more easy if you would use relative paths from the docker-compose directory or the directory structure from within the docker containers, which we see from the logs.

For me it looks eg:

root@strix /data/domains/mailman.ecobytes.net # docker-compose logs mailman-core | grep mailman-extra.cfg
mailman-core    | Found configuration file at /opt/mailman/mailman-extra.cfg

[maxking]

I guess that makes sense, I will update the docs to reflect the same.
