What do your aliases look like for the list-request and other addresses? Did you change them for 2.1.x? They should be something like: list: "|/path_to/mailman/mail/mailman post list" list-request: "|/path_to/mailman/mail/mailman request list" etc. Or if you're using Exim, see http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html >Also, if I attempt to run the mailman command from the command-line I >receive this: > >Group mismatch error.

This is the expected response if you don't run the command as the same group as your incoming MTA does. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
