Based on your off-list reply to Brad, it appears that you're using a CentOS/RedHat Mailman package. My understanding of this package, which may be incorrect, is it integrates aliases with Postfix as the MTA. The SMTP interaction quoted in the DSN above does not appear to be from Postfix. Postfix says things like 550 5.1.1 <x...@example.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table. So my best guess, is your package think's it's using Postfix, but this is actually some other MTA, so you'll probably need to set up the aliases manually or whatever is appropriate for the MTA you're actually using. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
