Hello All!
I'm trying to set up Mailman 2.1.2 on a FreeBSD 4.6 server. I'm using courier-MTA as my mail server software. I've gone through the install procedure, and set up the prescribed umbrealla list called "mailman",
Why do you refer to the 'mailman' list as an umbrella list? This term has a specific meaning for Mailman lists being that for a list whose members are other lists.
and set up a test list, which I'm calling "all". When I sent a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it's not actually posting to that list, it's posting to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now, I've redone the install process (twice), I've verified that the aliases I'm giving courier are correct,
Without wishing to be argumentative, if the Mailman mail delivery wrapper is called correctly by the MTA then the mail will be accepted for and processed on behalf of the correct list. If it is getting to the wrong list then the Mailman mail delivery wrapper is not being called correctly and typically this is because the mail aliases are incorrect.
and still, the post end up posting to the wrong list. The "mailman" list respond to my attempts to post to "all" with:
<snip> Your mail to 'Mailman' with the subject
Please Work
Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.
The reason it is being held:
Message has implicit destination
This will occur when mail is received by a list which does not find its email address in either the To: or Cc: header.
In your case, this tends to reinforce the view that the MTA, when delivering the message via Mailman's mail delivery script, is passing it to the wrong list. When the message is being processed by that list it finds it is not in the To: or Cc: header of the message; hence the error message.
This error can also occur when posting to a list which has another list as a member and the sublist does not see itself in the To: or Cc: header when the message is passed down to it.
Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive notification of the moderator's decision. If you would like to cancel this posting, please visit the following URL: </snip>
I'm at a loss here. Would someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction?? Thanks in advance!
Kindest Regards, Bill
