I don't see it as being a misconfiguration. I see it a method of NOT exposing a username. I have many servers with email aliases that eventually get routed to me, but I don't have an email account anywhere named [EMAIL PROTECTED] That doesn't mean I can't reply to an email sent to that address...but any reply would not come from postmaster@ I do agree with your second statement...there is no way for Mailman to know, which is why I said to make one of the suggested changes above.

No, this doesn't make sense. How are the users subscribing to the list? Via e-mail or web? It sounds to me like the user's MUA is misconfigured - either your e-mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] or it's [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can't have it both ways - mailman should correctly treat those as separate people since there is absolutely no way for it to know the difference. If you're subscribed with some.name, then post from some.name. If you want to allow posting from other e-mail addresses, then configure mailman so that non-list members are allowed to post. If you restrict posting to list members, then the client must be configured to post from some.name. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Actually, it makes perfect sense. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is an alias. SuSE OpenExchange creates such aliases by default for users. The simple way around this (for the admin) is to explicitly allow [EMAIL PROTECTED] to post to the list.

The expected gid of the Mailman CGI wrapper did not match the gid as set by the Web server. The most likely cause is that Mailman was configured and installed incorrectly.

The answer is you need to get at least 2 of the duplicates (ideally all the duplicates that reached a single address), with the full headers - specifically you need the received lines. You then compare the received headers on each one and work out where the paths of the 2 mails diverged. This could be:- - the original poster sent several copies (happens quite often) in this case you see the received lines are different at every stage - the senders MTA duplicated it (first - thats the bottom one in the message headers - received line is exactly the same, the rest are different). - mailman duplicated it (different received lines on the list delivery MTA) - the list delivery MTA duplicated it (subtly different) - someone's virus scanner reinjected it (they *must* die!!!) - someone's vacation mailer reinjected it (they must die and their whole domain be blocked - actually same applies for the virus scanner too). There are other possibilities too... and never underestimate how determined some idiots can be to loop your mail.

This probably indicates a problem with your logrotate scripts (that's
what bumps logfiles with numbers, and optionally compresses them). Not
sure where they are in RedHat but in Debian they're in /etc/logrotate* .
