I have just installed mailman v2.0.6 here on a SuSE 7.3 box. Installation appeared to be fine and I can set up a new list and administer it through the web interface. However if I try to send mail to any of the list addresses - I receive a bounce - and the root mailbox on the mailman machine receives the following message
Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2002 15:08:03 +0100 From: root <root@<mailman-host>.com> To: root@<mailman-host>.com Subject: sendmail-ns1.<our-isp>.net unknown finger: Connection refused Our firewall does not allow finger requests through - does it need to for mailman to work? If I try to subscribe to the list from the webpage - I never receive the confirmation message and root receives a mail with the subject Subject: sendmail-localhost unknown and the body looks very much like the output of finger. I installed the package using YaST2 - after a source installation of 2.0.12 produced the same results. I followed all the instructions carefully. The one area I had difficulty with was the INSTALL.Sendmail instructions. There was no /etc/smrsh folder on the box - so I created one and symlinked the wrapper in there. There is an smrsh binary on my box at /usr/lib/sendmail.d/bin/smrsh. Sendmail is working fine I believe. I can send mail to the outside world - and I can receive mail from the outside world, Any help please Fergal.... ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py
