I setup a few mail lists (including default mailman list) in name.comdomain, and worked with my IT folks to redirect <maillist>@ name.com to my mail server <mailist>@mine.name.com I do get a few <maillist-name>-bounce@name.com emails, and I would like to re-direct all these emails to mailman@name.com (or mailman@mine.name.com) Does someone have ideas how to accomplish this?
I do not administer the company's mail servers. Folks here are not open to the list.name.com domain idea, for legacy reasons.
Depending on the MTA that recieves the incoming mail for the name.com domain and whether it has the ability through NTFS or whatever to access files or directories on mine.name.com, it may or may not be possible to do something to direct all list mail to mine.name.com by looking at aliases or whatever on mine.name.com, but that may be even less acceptable to the IT folks than just installing the necessary aliases.
See the post at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-January/048725.html> and the surrounding posts in that thread for more on this.
Basically, there are 10 addresses per list - the listname address plus the 9 listname-* (where * is admin, bounces, confirm, join, leave, owner, request, subscribe or unsubscribe) addresses - which all must be able to receive mail and route it to Mailman in a way that Mailman can tell which of the 10 addresses it came from. In order for Mailman to fully function as documented, 9 of these should work (-admin is deprecated). You can get away without some of the others if you don't tell people about them, and they don't expect them to work from other Mailman experience.
I have a bunch of /etc/aliases entries for each of my mail lists on mine.name.com server. Is there a way I can use these alaises to re-firect <maillist-bounce>@ name.com to mailman@name.com
I'm not sure what you're getting at here. If you're thinking that you can get around the issue by having all bounces from any list be returned to the 'mailman' list posting address, you could do this in the source code, but not by using aliases on mine.name.com. But, you still have the issue of the other listname-* addresses.
