The fact that you are getting 'user unknown in virtual mailbox table' tells me that your list domain is a postfix virtual domain. You need to go to <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html> and do the things outlined in both subsections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2. In mm_cfg.py you need MTA= 'Postfix' and POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['list.example.com'] (with your real domain of course). See the documentation for this in Defaults.py. You also need to reference data/aliases and data/virtual-mailman in your postfix main.cf as outlined in the manual linked above. If you have further questions about this, please ask. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
