Mark,
Thanks for adding this information ! Simon, I use Plesk for server control which automatically creates the files Mark is talking about. Thus I don't have to create them manually. >From my installation of Qmail, I can confirm that all the files discussed below need to be created. That is how Qmail knows about the mailing lists and their names. Take an existing .qmail-<alias> file in the Vpopmail directory and use it as an example of how to name the files and their proper permissions.

You have to | create them manually, 10 for each list. When you create a | list, you should get a report and an email about the aliases | similar to the following for the 'mailman' list. | | ## mailman mailing list | mailman: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman" | mailman-admin: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin mailman" | mailman-bounces: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces mailman" | mailman-confirm: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman confirm mailman" | mailman-join: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman join mailman" | mailman-leave: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman leave mailman" | mailman-owner: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner mailman" | mailman-request: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request mailman" | mailman-subscribe: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman | subscribe mailman" | mailman-unsubscribe: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman | unsubscribe mailman" | | but this is not the format for qmail alaises. I know nothing | about qmail. All I know is at | <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/qmail-issues.html> which | you say you've read. | | What it says to me is that for each list you need to create | 10 files named .qmail-x where x is from the 'local parts | above (e.g. mailman. mailman-admin, etc.). These files should | be created in the /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.tld/ | directory for the list domain. | | The contents of these files should be something related to | the respective pipe command in the above list similar to | | |preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post mailman | | etc. | | This is only my understanding of what I read in | <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/qmail-issues.html>. It | may not be correct. | | For further information, you'd have to see qmail documention | or ask on a qmail list or wait until someone with relevant | experience sees your post on this list. | | As an alternate to aliases in qmail, there is a contributed | script at contrib/qmail-to-mailman.py in the Mailman source | distribution and a brief note about it at | <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/qmail-issues.html>. It | is 8 years old, but it might work. | | -- | Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, | San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
