Make sure your sendmail aliases are setup correctly. When you create a list with the 'newlist' command, there will be printed to the screen a list of aliases to be added to your sendmail aliases. This is a section of my /etc/mailman.aliases ## test mailing list test: "|/home/mailman2/mail/mailman post test" test-admin: "|/home/mailman2/mail/mailman admin test" test-bounces: "|/home/mailman2/mail/mailman bounces test" test-confirm: "|/home/mailman2/mail/mailman confirm test" test-join: "|/home/mailman2/mail/mailman join test" test-leave: "|/home/mailman2/mail/mailman leave test" test-owner: "|/home/mailman2/mail/mailman owner test" test-request: "|/home/mailman2/mail/mailman request test" test-subscribe: "|/home/mailman2/mail/mailman subscribe test" test-unsubscribe: "|/home/mailman2/mail/mailman unsubscribe test" So I add all mailman aliases to that file and I add 'O AliasFile=/etc/mailman.aliases' to my sendmail.cf or 'alias_maps = hash:/etc/mailman.aliases' for postfix. But for postfix & mailman 2.1, alias_maps = hash:/home/mailman2/data/aliases would be smarter. See README.POSTFIX -- Matthew Davis http://dogpound.vnet.net/ Q: All your responses must be oral, OK?
