Don't assume that your HTML markup will pass through a list's content filtering. >For some >reason, postfix or mailman (I haven't been able to determine which one) is >appending "@mikesoh.com" to the command. The problem is that mail to the lists.mikesoh.com domain is delivered by a relay other than Postfix's 'local' delivery and that relay doesn't understand 'pipe' delivery so the string "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post somelist" in the alias is interpreted as a 'local' address rather than a pipe and thus gets appended with $mydomain. When I run the command exactly >within a terminal, it says no such list exists. However, if I only run the >command within the quotes, it runs correctly. Right, and if Postfix is using the 'local' relay for this domain, it will run the correct command too. >I can't seem to figure out why this is. I've posted my postfix config on a >pastebin: >http://paste.ubuntu.com/610641/ If you want someone to actually look at your Postfix configuration, paste the output from 'postconf -n' rather than the entire 643 line 'postconf' configuration. >Can anyone offer me a clue? In addition to the above clues, look in the Postfix log (maillog) to see what 'relay' is being used for this mail and figure out why it is what it is rather than 'local'. This may require looking at transport_maps and/or master.cf. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
