I'm having an issue with Mailman being unable to send messages through qmail. I'm not sure which one has the problem, so I'm sending to both lists. As soon as I figure out which program is at fault, I'll remove the other list from any replies.
I'm running a Debian server with Mailman and qmail. We recent had a brief power outage. I shut the server down, then rebooted. When it came back up, I'd stopped receiving mail. I troubleshot and found out that something I'd installed on the server had evidently installed qpopper as a dependency. It was binding to port 110 before qmail's pop3d, so pop3d obviously wasn't working. I uninstalled qpopper and thought that I had everything fixed. However, either mailman is not working correctly or qmail isn't allowing mailman to work. Messages are coming into the list. I receive the messages in my mailbox, located on the same server. (Both my address and the list address are @riddlemaster.org addresses.) However, none of the other list members are receiving mail. Checking the mailman/post logs, I see a great deal of this: Jun 22 17:42:59 2007 (2503) post to listname from [EMAIL PROTECTED], size=3715, message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 16 failures Jun 22 20:22:59 2007 (2503) post to listname from [EMAIL PROTECTED], size=1920, message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 16 failures Jun 22 21:15:55 2007 (13367) post to listname from [EMAIL PROTECTED], size=1481, message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 16 failures (List members email addresses obscured.) There are 17 addresses subbed to the list, including mine. So it appears that my email address is succeeding but all of the rest are failing. I don't find any errors or related entries in any of the qmail logs. I can email members of the list directly, using qmail on the same server that hosts mailman. So mail is flowing through the system, both in and out. For some reason, however, it appears that mailman can't send messages outside my domain. Any hints or suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue would be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------ 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
