It reports to be 2.1.6. I will have to forward your comments to tech support, but I have only one forwarder in my lists that was created by the installation program provided. (You have indicated this forward is wrong, thus unrouted/bad addresses go to the persons designated)
If you think of anything, I will also pass my tech supports help if helpful. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Sapiro Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 8:50 PM To: mailman-users@python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] Confirmation e-mail goes to user that isnotadmin or moderator Charles M.

If the intent of whatever did this is to handle mail to owner-<list>@<example.com> by forwarding it to the list owner, it should be forwarded to <list>-owner@<example.com>. <list>-admin@<example.com> is a deprecated address. It hasn't been actually used since Mailman 2.0.x. In Mailman 2.1.x it is a synonym for <list>-bounces@<example.com>. >2) Two people DID GET it that I did not expect and I found both addresses as >forwarded from the "Default Address Maintenance" where "All unrouted mail >will be sent". > >SO...

I have an idea of this is >the course of action, but those more familiar can advise. I'm not sure I'm correctly parsing the above, but the owner-<list> address is not a Mailman address. It is an address that is generically used by some to reach the owner of the list. Thus, with a Mailman list, this address is supported by forwarding to the address that actually reaches the owner. What version of Mailman is this? I've been assuming it is a recent 2.1.x version, but maybe not, so what is it? >THUS... what do I need to do or get the provider to fix? Mailman 2.1.x expects 10 addresses per list to be delivered to Mailman in specific ways and to not be 'unknown'. These addresses are <list>@... <list>[EMAIL PROTECTED] <list>[EMAIL PROTECTED] (does not go to the owner, goes to -bounces) <list>[EMAIL PROTECTED] <list>[EMAIL PROTECTED] <list>[EMAIL PROTECTED] <list>[EMAIL PROTECTED] <list>[EMAIL PROTECTED] <list>[EMAIL PROTECTED] <list>[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mailman 2.0.x expects only 4 <list>@... <list>[EMAIL PROTECTED] (does go to the owner) <list>[EMAIL PROTECTED] <list>[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
