He means a given domain which is the recipient domain for both list mail and at least some non-list mail. mm-handler works best if the lists have their own domain which doesn't receive non-list mail. Then Sendmail is configured so all the mail to that domain goes to mm-handler for delivery to Mailman. If there are other, non-list addresses in the same domain, they have to be handled via their own aliases 'ahead of' mm-handler. If there are a lot of these, the problem of handling the non-list addresses becomes larger than the problem of handling list mail via aliases without mm-handler. Of course, there are other MTAs (e.g., Exim) that can be configured to determine whether an address should be routed to Mailman by examining the Mailman file system to determine if a particular name is a Mailman list, but with Sendmail, the easier way is probably the method referenced in the FAQ. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
