[Mailman-Users] configuration problems
Hello, I set up MailMan according to the instructions and it 'seems' to be working. But, it's not working correctly. I have set it up on a Slackware linux 7.1 machine, Apache sendmail. When I log into the web interface and add some users, that seems to work. The users that I add all get the notification of subscription. But, when one of the users posts to the list, I'm the only one who gets a copy of the mail. I think this may be because of the way my incoming mail is handled. I have a DSL connection w/domain and the mail goes to my ISP, from where I download it via fetchmail. Fetchmail hands it to sendmail on port 25 but it seems that the aliases are not invoked and it just goes into my inbox instead of getting recycled. I've set up two test lists and the behavior is the same on both. I did run 'newaliases' after adding the aliases to the /etc/aliases file. No procmail recipes are being run on the incoming mail at this point. I would sure appreciate any suggestions, as I need to get this setup operational asap. mp -- Michael Powe Portland, Oregon USA 'Unless we approve your idea, it will not be permitted, it will not be allowed.' -- Hilary Rosen, President, Recording Industry Association of America -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users

You need procmail. fetchmail and sendmail are looking at the envelope address, which is your mailbox. -- Satya. URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/ US-bound grad students!

I know how to use ENVELOPE_TO to forward mail; should I use it to pipe mail back to sendmail? Hmm. mp -- Michael Powe Portland, Oregon USA 'Unless we approve your idea, it will not be permitted, it will not be allowed.' -- Hilary Rosen, President, Recording Industry Association of America -- Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
