Hello, just have a look at the mailman documentation (hooking up the mail server). Yes, mailman receives mail via LMTP. No, the container is not stateless, mailman processes data on local queue directories that should be persistent. Maybe you want to switch over to the mailman list after consulting the detailed mailman3 documentation.

Yes I also don't like to have this on the server. I was just looking at these Dockerfiles they have there. I prefer to have an external stateless container for this. This mailman seems to connect to a database. So I was just wondering how it should receive the emails.
currently I have sendmail deliver to docker lmtp. FEATURE(
local_lmtp',[IPC]',`FILE /var/run/dovecot/lmtp')dnlI guess I should be able to deliver remotely with something like this. dnl FEATURE(
local_lmtp',[IPC]',`TCP [192.168.xx.xx] 24')dnlJust need to figure out how to configure sendmail for what to use when.
Do you know if you can run mailman in stateless containers because it stores everything in the db? And this lmtp is only for temporary new mail processing? And does it indeed have an 'lmtp" port open?
we always prefer to separate things, for example in docker containers (https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman is the official one), but when you use a python .venv, isolation is already halfway done

I was think of adding a mailinglist for a few users. First I thought about maybe using separate container for this, but maybe I can just also add this to the server running dovecot.
Anyone having experience with running mailman or something else next to dovecot?
