I'm not sure how this is set up and as Brad says in another reply, the details are really beyond the scope of this list, but here's what you need to have happen. Mail can be addressed to the following addresses: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] where LISTNAME is a list name and example.com is your email domain. For any mail the is sent with envelope to any of the above addresses, when it reaches the box with your Mailman installation, it must be piped to the mail wrapper with the respective action and list arguments as follows: |path_to/mail/mailman post LISTNAME |path_to/mail/mailman admin LISTNAME |path_to/mail/mailman bounces LISTNAME |path_to/mail/mailman confirm LISTNAME |path_to/mail/mailman join LISTNAME |path_to/mail/mailman leave LISTNAME |path_to/mail/mailman owner LISTNAME |path_to/mail/mailman request LISTNAME |path_to/mail/mailman subscribe LISTNAME |path_to/mail/mailman unsubscribe LISTNAME Note that it is the envelope recipient that should determine the action and listname arguments, not any To: or other header in the message. Normally, this is done via aliases in the incoming MTA of the form LISTNAME: "|path_to/mail/mailman post LISTNAME" LISTNAME-admin: "|path_to/mail/mailman admin LISTNAME" etc. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
