[Mailman-Users] Aliases not working
I have been getting rid of lists lately and I need to forward old lists to the new lists. I am using mailman 2.1.6 and the forwards are not working. I also recently upgraded the OS from Debian to SuSE 10.0. Any ideas anyone??

I also recently upgraded the OS from Debian to SuSE 10.0. How are you forwarding? What's not working? Note that if the new list has require_explicit_destination Yes, you will probably need to put the old list address in acceptable_aliases in order for a post to the old list to not be held for implicit destination by the new list.

Do I also have to put the aliases, old-list-admin old-list-bounces old-list-confirm old-list-join old-list-leave old-list-owner old-list-request old-list-subscribe old-list-unsubscribe that point to, new-list-admin new-list-bounces new-list-confirm new-list-join new-list-leave new-list-owner new-list-request new-list-subscribe new-list-unsubscribe ,respectively? Or does just old-list - new-list suffice?

You definitely do not need old-list-admin old-list-bounces old-list-confirm admin is an old, deprecated address now a synonym for bounces, and bounces and confirmations will all be to messages from new-list so you dont need bounces or confirm. Whether you want owner/request/join/subscribe depends on whether or not you still want to support these functions for the old list, or if people should be using the new list name for these. I would put in aliases for leave/unsubscribe just to not cause additional frustration for someone who wants to unsubscribe and still thinks it's the old list. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
