How is Mailman delivering mail? If it is delivering to a local MTA on localhost, how it identifies itself in HELO to this MTA is irrelevant as it is this MTA, not Mailman that is attempting delivery to the recipient MX. > I could understand this with the move to the new server except every > where I know to configure this (both postfix and mailman) I have the > name email.marmot.org configured as the URL of the host.

In the normal case, Mailman relays mail through the local MTA (Postfix). How Mailman identifies itself to this MTA is irrelevant as long as the MTA accepts the mail from Mailman (does it)? If the local postfix can deliver mail, but not Mailman's mail, the only thing I can see that would affect this is the envelope sender which would be LISTNAME-bounces@HOSTNAME where HOSTNAME is the list's host_name attribute. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
