Mailman 3 May 2003 - Mailman-Users

DNS/Sendmail issue upon install
by colleen＠sdo.net May 29, 2003

May 29, 2003

Greetings everyone! I am running mailman-2.0 on Redhat Linux 7.3. I have successfully installed mailman onto my server. I have sucessfully added an admin and a few users through the web interface to a test list. Unfortunately, when I try to send an email on the list, I get this: The original message was received at Thu, 29 May 2003 14:39:39 -0700 from apache@localhost ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <test2(a)sdo.net> (reason: 550 5.1.1 User unknown) ----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 5.1.1 <test2(a)sdo.net>... User unknown Mailman is sending mail out to users who subscribe, but the list itself is not operational. Is there a particular default setting I should look at? Thanks! Colleen

Hi, I am seeing some mail lists handled by mailman with a message count in the subject line accompanying the digest message. My digest mailings do not have these details. How do I add them? - Noah

thanks for your help, I can't think of any place the port assignment would be set for an individual list can you? I guess I can try setting up a new list from scratch to see if the config files somehow were corrupt when the list was built? Any idea where to look besides that?
