Why do you think there's no web interface. Have you tried going to http(s)://any.of.your.domains/admindb/mailman/ ? There are a couple of scripts at <https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/>, namely 'erase' and 'list_requests' that can do the discard. > Also, should the mailman/data/aliases.db even contain aliases for the > mailman list? The address mail...@domain.tld is exposed in both the listinfo and admin overview pages as a place for questions. Also, mailman-boun...@domain.tld is the envelope sender of password reminders and some owner notices and some MTA configurations don't accept outging mail that isn't from a deliverable address, although I think this is mostly an Exim issue and Exim doesn't use aliases. Also, if you don't put a MAILTO in Mailman's crontab, any errors from Mailman's crons will be sent to mail...@domain.tld. For all these reasons, I recommend setting up the 'mailman' list with the Mailman site admins as owners and members and setting generic_nonmember_action to accept. Anyway, the short answer to "should the mailman/data/aliases.db even contain aliases for the mailman list?" is Yes, but if it makes sense in your installation to remove them, you can. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
