Hey Guys I have a similar problem described in the faqs. I have followed the suggestions , but of no avail. This is the problem, users are able to send the mail to the mailing list, but no one in the mailing list is getting any email. When I look in the maillog, it says sendmail has sent the stuff. I restarted sendmail with different configuration where sendmail was listening on two ports and Delivery mode was set to defer. Still the messages are not being sent. I can check the message though over the net in the archives. Thanks Any Ideas Jaskaran Singh University Systems & Security Fairleigh Dickinson University Teaneck, NJ 07666

True: -- In the general case the direct message would have arrived first (the reverse happens, if rarely). -- You may never have received the courtesy copy anyway -- its not reliable with either header form. -- Add just a little latency (say 20 minutes) and you can fairly safely assume that if you are to get both, you already have both. -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas. claw(a)kanga.nu He lived as a devil, eh? http://www.kanga.nu/~claw/ Evil is a name of a foeman, as I live.

No worries. Part of the background logic on all this is that the To: and Cc: headers are actually meaningless. Sure, most people don't know that, but I would expect that the members of this list are very comfortable with the fact that the To: and Cc: headers need have absolutely no relation to the original or current message envelope. As such they start out being weak suggestions, not statements. If you really want to know, and you trust the Received: headers (which are themselves not totally trustworthy, but that's another matter) look for destination envelope comments in the Received: headers.
