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. <>< Paul 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.

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.
