This looks like a normal message delivery from the 'parents' list to pers...@pacbell.net >Which would deliver just fine while others would say: > > > >2009-05-03 16:12:52 [20088] H=localhost (myhost.DOMAIN.com) >[127.0.0.1]:45816 I=[127.0.0.1]:25 F=<mailman-boun...@myhost.domain.com> >temporarily rejected RCPT <pers...@sbcglobal.net>: Could not complete sender >verify This message is from the site list, not the 'parents' list. Such messages are normally notices to list owners/moderators. If pers...@sbcglobal.net is not an owner/moderator of some list and is only a member of the 'parents' list, then I don't offhand know what's happening. >Which of course were not deliverable but we're all part of the same mailing >list.

If so, what's in the smtp and smtp-failure logs? See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/sYA9> for a discussion of why our ability to help is limited in this situation, and for info on the location of files in a cPanel installation. If you think the problem is the 'myhost' in mailman-boun...@myhost.domain.com as opposed to the absence of 'myhost' in parents-boun...@domian.com, you may be able to fix that if you have command line access to Mailman. You would need to run 'fix_url' on the 'mailman' list. In a normal, non-cPanel installation, I think all that would be required is cd path/to/mailman bin/withlist -l -r fix_url mailman Even simpler, if you can access the web admin interface for the 'mailman' list, you will probably find that host_name near the bottom of the General Options page is set to myhost.DOMAIN.com and you can simply change that to DOMAIN.com. > My >service provider claims not to support mailman any longer all through its >still part of the Cpanel install.

You can give them the above information, but as Brad already said, they already aren't supporting you, at least as far as Mailman is concerned. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
