I sent out a message about this over the weekend, but since the nature of the problem changed (and I got no replies to the first post anyway) I'm moving it to it's own thread for clarity.
I set up my Gentoo linux server with: Postfix 2.0.16-r1 Mailman 2.1.4 Fetchmail 6.2.3 Once I got the setup all working (with the default Mailman list and 2 other lists) and I'd tested it, I set about adding the rest of the lists. When I added the next list, however, that new list didn't work right. Apparently, I'm getting a 550 bounce error in /var/log/mail/current, BUT only for one domain (happens to be the same domain as the list is on), which means that subscribers on a different domain are getting messages just fine. No 550 bounce. A sample error follows: Feb 9 08:33:27 [postfix/smtp] 6C30418B04: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=mx00.1and1.com[217.160.230.10], delay=0, status=bounced (host mx00.1and1.com[217.160.230.10] said: 550 rejected: unknown local-part in sender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (in reply to MAIL FROM command)) So, for this one list (remember all the others work fine regardless of domain), I need to tell it not to try to resolve the usernames locally since it is not the mx for this or any domain. Those users don't exist on my server. To be clear, say my list is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I have two members ([EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]). When a message is sent to the list by either user, it is collected and added to the archive, but only [EMAIL PROTECTED] will get the message in his inbox. For [EMAIL PROTECTED] I will get an error similar to the one I detail above because it is trying to resolve all MyDomain.com address to local users...but only for this one list! The others appear to work fine. Is there some setting I'm missing that overrides the local_recipient_maps variable (found in /etc/postfix/main.cf) on a per list basis? In /etc/postfix/main.cf, I've set: local_recipient_maps = Because setting it to nothing is postfix's way of telling itself not to try to resolve names locally. The default setting causes all mail sent to external users to fail with the 550 bounce message in /var/log/mail/current just as it is now for that one list. I admit that I'm a little confused. Anybody every run across this issue before? I'm sure it's just a simple config error on my part, but any help at all would be appreciated. -Tom Caudron ------------------------------------------------------ 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 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
