Do you have the Virtual hosting setup in Mailman? (this is a version 2.1.x of Mailman, right?). If so, what happens if you create a new list using this virtual host information? Is it using the mailserver info as setup in ~mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py? Examples can be found in ~mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py Good luck - Jon Carnes ------------------------------------------------------ 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
