Thank you. As I said, the MTA is listening lo localhost. It is relaying perfectly fine a mailing list using listserv, without a hitch. Thanks for answering, though. Best, elena -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pyt

After having experimented with zillions of possibilities, I went to google with this "query" "SMTPDirect" does not work and, much to my surprise, found three pages of messages on that subject. From SMTPDirect.py, I copy these lines... # We have to play tricks so that the list object # isn't loc

I too decided to dump sendmail, and installed and now have Postfix running just fine. However, I am having problems getting mailman to marry Postfix. First of all, when I run /usr/local/mailman/bin/genaliases I get /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases /usr/local/mailman/data/aliases.pag /usr/local/

No, it was not a typo, just an ellipsis :-) I am very careful when it comes to changing things. I read that changes are not to go into Defaults, and I made the changes in mm_cfg.py. I just omitted the gory details :-) (that what I put in mm_cfg.py in the end becomes Defaults). But you are rig

Thank you, Todd, for acting so irate ;-) about my bypassing the warnings and setting up sendmail "in the raw" as opposed to going to it via SMTPDirect. I guess I have demonstrated to be truly a newbie but... there is hope for me. I decided to look into the sendmail.cf file, and it turns out that

ugh, you must be a developer... :-) (just in case, here comes another one ;-)) My problem was that mailman received all fine, queued all fine, and never delivered a thing. Obviously my sendmail was running. When I changed DELIVERY_MODULE from SMTPDirect to Sendmail, it worked just fine. Now, I

2003-03-12 Thread Elena Fraboschi
Well, I reasoned that mailman was working just fine, save for the fact that it was not delivering any messages. I went to Mailman/Defaults.py and there I learned that the makers of mailman, in an over-protective move, commented out "Sendmail" as the Delivery_Module, and put "SMTPDirect" instead.

[Mailman-Users] no discernable addresses?

2003-03-12 Thread Elena Fraboschi
I believe I have pinpointed the root of the problem, which was, in a nutshell, that mailman received the messages from subscribed members, and queued them, but failed to deliver to the list because, it would appear from the bounces log, it does not recognize the addresses at some point. Here is th

I have been tweaking with "things," and have gotten the following behavior. If I completely stop mailman, and then start it, I get *one* message delivered. A lock forms, like this: -rw-rw-r-- 2 mailman mailman 53 Mar 12 2003 master-qrunner -rw-rw-r-- 2 mailman mailman 53 Mar 1
