It seems the problem has been resolved by the service provider. It appears that the host name of the server was not in the /etc/localdomains as required by mailman. They made the adjustment and the problems have gone away.

Regardless, they are configured to do SAV, and your system didn't verify that address as valid (which is not uncommon for qmail, IIRC), so your message failed to be accepted. There's not much you can do about this, unless you can get the recipient system to stop doing SAV, or you can fix your qmail installation to actually validate those addresses. Like I said, I don't know that there's anyone here who understands much about qmail. > My > service provider claims not to support mailman any longer all through its > still part of the Cpanel install. IMO, if you're using cPanel, and your service provider is no longer providing support for the system you're using, then you've got the wrong service provider. There are some service providers that are active on this mailing list, and I'm sure one or more of them would be more than happy to talk to you about your requirements and whether or not they could help you move your services to a different system where you can actually get the support you should be getting. -- Brad Knowles <b...@shub-internet.org> If you like Jazz/R&B guitar, check out LinkedIn Profile: my friend bigsbytracks on YouTube at <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> http://preview.tinyurl.com/bigsbytracks ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 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://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
