Thanks for the reply. I have a guess as to what is wrong but I don't know how to fix it in mailman. Here are the syslog entries for a non-mailman email:
Jan 12 10:55:10 dap002 postfix/qmgr[2345]: 47CD185063: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=435, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jan 12 10:55:16 dap002 postfix/smtp[21572]: 47CD185063: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=mail.bellsouth.net[204.127.217.17]:25, delay=5.8, delays=0.05/0.02/5.5/0.28, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 ok ; id=20080112155515H0100n202se) Jan 12 10:55:16 dap002 postfix/qmgr[2345]: 47CD185063: removed Note the from hostname is 'home.bellsouth.net'. Now the mailman entries: Jan 12 10:56:12 dap002 postfix/qmgr[2345]: D4F7D85061: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=10015, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jan 12 10:56:12 dap002 postfix/smtpd[21582]: disconnect from dap002[127.0.0.1] Jan 12 10:56:16 dap002 postfix/smtp[21572]: D4F7D85061: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=mail.bellsouth.net[207.115.11.17]:25, delay=3.5, delays=0.03/0.01/3.3/0.19, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host mail.bellsouth.net[207.115.11.17] said: 550 [PERMFAIL] bellsouth.net requires valid sender domain (in reply to RCPT TO command)) Here the from hostname is 'dap002.bellsouth.net' instead of 'home.bellsouth.net', that is not to say I know this is the problem but its all I can see as different. Obviously mailman is somehow overriding the normal from hostname and building its own. The name 'dap002' is the LAN hostname but I cannot use that as the from address to my ISP. My ISP has a special hostname for situations like this that will properly resolve via DNS although it is a dummy name for all DHCP assigned IPs. My mm_cfg.py has these 2 lines referring to the hostname but obviously they are not what is being used in this case: DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'home.bellsouth.net' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'home.bellsouth.net' ------------------------------------------------------ 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
