Package: mailman
Version: 2.1.5-7
Severity: normal
The instructions for how to configure master.cf are incorrect. In
particular, the argv line says:
argv=/var/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py ${nexthop} ${user}
but it should say:
argv=/var/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman.py ${nexthop} ${mailbox}
This is because if your system is configured to use '-' instead of '+'
as the extension separator in postfix, then extensions like '-join',
'-subscribe', etc will be dropped from the ${user} argument. ${mailbox}
preserves these (because it includes the extension).
Likely, this bug is not noticed on systems configured to use '+' as the
extension because the '-extensions' are considered to be part of the
username.
