Thank you for the reply and suggestions. I thought the problem had something to do with Mailman and, therefore, posted a message seeking help.
However, I have now discovered that the problem was not with Mailman but with the domain name of the list. The list used the domain name ncsi.iisc.ernet.in. The postings to the list were made to lis-fo...@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in, which used the institution's email relay server to send the emails to the lis. The network team has informed us that the service of the relay server has been shut down. That explains why postings to the list are not reaching. I now need to migrate the list to a new domain. Please let me know the steps that should be followed to ensure a smooth transition and carry forward the list's archive. Also, can we redirect messages posted to the old domain to the new one? Many thanks for the help and guidance. - Francis ________________________________ From: Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> Sent: 16 November 2023 19:25 To: mailman-users@python.org <mailman-users@python.org> Subject: [Mailman-Users] Re: Unable to post messages to a Mailman 2 List External Email On 11/16/23 03:27, Francis Jayakanth via Mailman-Users wrote: > Thank you for your guidance.

Also, look at your MTA log to see what happens to the messages sent to the list. They should be delivered to a command like `/path/to/mailman/mail/mailman post LISTNAME` -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
