I see two possibilities. 1) the wrapper is failing and this fact is not communicated back to the MTA. Possibly there is a group mismatch or some other problem, but these result in stderr output from the wrapper and a non-zero exit status, both of which should be seen by the MTA. 2) the wrapper's precompiled path to the scripts directory is to something other than /usr/local/mailman/scripts. It is not clear to me from your initial posts whether this issue involves just one list or all lists and whether things this list (or all lists) ever worked. In any case, you could try your test similarly to the above, but using the wrapper as in cd /usr/local/mailman/mail (or whatever the correct directory is) ./mailman post <listname> <message input> <ctrl-D> The first attempt will probably result in a group mismatch error before it reads any message input. This will at least tell you what group it is expecting which may help if there is really a group mismatch with the MTA. Then if you can try it again as the expected group, you can see if it actually posts the message. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
