[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#648976: Conflicting instructions for mm_cfg.py settings with postfix-to-mailman.py

[J M Cerqueira Esteves]

Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.13-5
Severity: normal


According to /etc/mailman/postfix-to-mailman.py one should set
MTA = Postfix
(and also POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS) in /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py
(shouldn't it be MTA = 'Postfix' ?))

But according to mm_cfg.py itself, one should uncomment
# MTA='Postfix'
"if you use Postfix virtual domains (but not postfix-to-mailman.py)".

Also, /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py suggests that
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS should be set *if* MTA is set as
'Postfix'.

So, are instructions in postfix-to-mailman.py obsolete?
