OK (I really think I should have read that last part into what you wrote first--sorry). At this point, I'm having trouble imagining what is going wrong. I can see a failure if the "The list administrator email addresses." box on the General page contains a bare local part, with sendmail having been configured to qualify that and Exim not so configured, but I have trouble coming up with customized Exim logging settings which would totally suppress the logging of the unqualified address error that would result, while letting Exim logging for proper messages happen. And Mailman wouldn't know the difference--it would do what it's always done. The same logging argument would apply to Exim believing it isn't allowed to relay the message to owner to whatever machine that would be a relay to. It's someone else's turn. --John ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
