Re: [Mailman-Users] Mailman Problem

[Jon Carnes]

You have an "I" (that's a capital letter i) in the aliases file where a "|" (that's the character for pipe) should be.   The actual line in your /etc/aliases file should read:   testlist: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post testlist"   The pipe character "|" tells sendmail to transfer control to a external program and send the email as data to that program.   If you have made an error this grave, you might want to look at hiring someone or bringing in a friend with a little more experience to help you out.   Jon Carnes ----- Original Message ----- From: Dipl.-Ing.
