It is strictly exim. Mailman is not doing any DNS lookups on anything except maybe localhost or whatever is set as SMTPHOST in Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py. Mailman passes the message and list of recipient addresses to this SMTP server (exim) and it's up to that server to deliver the mail. You have MX records $ dig mx canby.k12.or.us ... ;; ANSWER SECTION: canby.k12.or.us. 86400 IN MX 60 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com. canby.k12.or.us. 86400 IN MX 70 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.com. canby.k12.or.us. 86400 IN MX 70 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.com. canby.k12.or.us. 86400 IN MX 10 canby.k12.or.us.s9a1.psmtp.com. canby.k12.or.us. 86400 IN MX 20 canby.k12.or.us.s9a2.psmtp.com. canby.k12.or.us. 86400 IN MX 30 canby.k12.or.us.s9b1.psmtp.com. canby.k12.or.us. 86400 IN MX 40 canby.k12.or.us.s9b2.psmtp.com. canby.k12.or.us. 86400 IN MX 50 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com. canby.k12.or.us. 86400 IN MX 60 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com. If exim is trying to deliver mail to the canby.k12.or.us domain and thinks it should be sent to 10.30.192.16, that's something to do with exim and not Mailman. Note: 10.x.x.x IP addresses are only valid within your local private network. You don't have to mask them to protect your DNS since they aren't accessible from outside your network. You would probably have better luck taking this exim issue to an exim support resource. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
