I'm probably as lost as you about what you've done on which machine, but here's some basic information.
Each list requires a set of 10 aliases to be installed in the MTA of the Mailman machine. In a default installation, they look like the following set for a list named 'list'.
list: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post list" list-admin: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman admin list" list-bounces: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman bounces list" list-confirm: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman confirm list" list-join: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman join list" list-leave: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman leave list" list-owner: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner list" list-request: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman request list" list-subscribe: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe list" list-unsubscribe: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe list"
These aliases allow the MTA on the Mailman machine to pipe mail addressed to 'list' and its 'list-*' administrative addresses.
You say you have Postfix installed on the Mailman machine, so if you configure Postfix-Mailman integration per <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node13.html>, these aliases should be generated automatically as you create lists.
The above will allow list mail that reaches Postfix on the Mailman machine to be delivered to Mailman.
Now you will need to arrange for list mail from the outside world to be delivered to the Mailman machine.
This can be done by having a unique domain or domains for the Mailman lists and using DNS to rout that mail to the Mailman machine, I have public dns with an entry in it for the lists and it points to my
Yes, it is configured per that link and i remember seeing those created during the install public ip. My firewall then "NAT's" or "PAT's" that connection to the main mailserver.
or if list mail is going first to the maim mail server machine, then it needs to be told to relay all 10 addresses per list to the Mailman machine. .
Heres where i am not understanding:
if list mail is going first to the maim mail server machine, then it needs to be told to relay all 10 addresses per list to the Mailman machine.
I don't see how to do that on my mailserver. I can forward to email addresses but i dont see how to forward to a machine. Of course, sending mail is fine and i get an email to confirm a subscription.
