Hi Paul,

Thanks for your mail, but i tried creating mailing-list on the 
command-line like this:

$: /mailman/bin/newlist --quiet
  Enter the name of the list: mylist
  Enter the email of the person running the list: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Initial mylist password:
  Entry for aliases file:

  ## mylist mailing list
  ## created: 18-Jul-2003 root
  mylist:                  "|/mailman/mail/wrapper post 
 mylist"
  mylist-admin:            "|/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner 
 mylist"
  mylist-request:          "|/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd 
 mylist"
  mylist-owner:            mylist-admin

should i need to add the above three lines to my /etc/alaises ..?? If so 
any mail i address to 'mailman-owner' will be sent..??
and also i didnt find the program 'newaliases'.

Thanks for your help
Schalla


>>      When you create a list you get a set of aliases that need to be 
>>added to /etc/aliases.  If you created via the web the aliases were 
mailed to the list administrator.  If you created the list via SSH the 
aliases were listed there.  Without these aliases your server has no way 
to process mailman addresses.  And of course do newaliases if needed.

Hi,

Im using using mailman integrated with another application. When i create
a list i get a mail from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" saying that
mailing list has been created and the list address..and in the last part
of the mail it says "Please address all questions to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

Now what i did was i sent a mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", but
the mail bounces with the following content:
--->

Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2003 14:37:36 +0530 From: Mail Delivery System
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mail
delivery failed: returning message to sender

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    unknown local-part "mailman-owner" in domain "localdomain2.com"

------ This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. ------
Can anyone tell me how to enable this account or where to configure, so
that the mail sent to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is delieverd...??

The following are the configuration settings in the
mailman/Mailman/Default.py:
-----------------------------------------------------

# Don't change MAILMAN_URL, unless you want to point it at the list.org
# mirror.
MAILMAN_URL = 'http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman.html'
#MAILMAN_URL = 'http://www.list.org/'

# Site-specific settings
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME   = 'linuxroute.dev.sf.net'
# DEFAULT_URL must end in a slash!
DEFAULT_URL         = 'http://linuxroute.dev.sf.net/mailman/'
# PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL and PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL should not end in slashes!
PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL  = '/pipermail'
PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL = '/mailman/private'

HOME_PAGE         = 'index.html'
MAILMAN_OWNER     = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME


The config details in the mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py are:
--------------------------------------------------------

# Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line.
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME   = 'localdomain2.com'
DEFAULT_URL         = 'https://localdomain2.com/mailman/'
PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL  = '/mailman/archives'

USE_CRYPT           = 0
MAILMAN_OWNER       = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'


Before posting this question i tried adding aliase to /etc/aliases like
this:
mailman-owner: root

after doing this i was able to send mail to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" from the same machine, but this approach
fails when i try to send mail to the same id from a different machine.

Can anyone help.

Thanks in advance.
Schalla
