Thanks. That sounds like an excellent starting point. >Testing Dovecot or Mailman in the absence of a working Postfix is >going to be hard for you, I guess.

Tools are not a problem, but program internals? Nah, not I, said the sys admin (LOL). At least I know now what the focal point is of the three. >It would help if you describe the symptoms, although perhaps the best >thing we can do is direct you to a Postfix or Dovecot channel. No symptoms to report, as I've not begun testing in a serious and methodical way ... until now, because I was clueless as to where to begin. I'll work with the above and reply with more details as they are revealed if things don't work. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
