Hi,
could you tell me, how can I send letters to the correct address instead of "somebody-owner@somewhere"? I use mailing lists with "elfiz2.kee.hu" and "phd.hu" names [mailman 1.08b]. Members from other servers are not available sometimes(?). Members were registrated "bulk" on admin page and listinfo page (by themselves). I have no problem with most of them only one or two seems to have incorrect options. What can be wrong?
Regards, Laszlo Baranyai

I am sorry, but I cannot understand what problem you are seeing. I think it is your English translation, so please try to explain your problem with a little more detail. I will try to use simpler English in my email.
In the first sentence you ask how to send letters to "the correct address". What do you mean? Are you sending the letter to an address that is not working? Can you give an example of an address that you have tried, but does not work for you?
I do not understand the meaning of "elfiz2.kee.hu" and "phd.hu". How do those names relate to the problem that you are seeing.
You say that one or two have incorrect options. What is happening with those addresses?

We have virtual hosts. The 'elfiz2.kee.hu' and 'www.phd.hu' are the same machines. Virtualized by the apache configuration.
When I made lists by myself, the mailman created the wrong username. E.g. I entered 'jzana@hoya.kee.hu' as mailman admin, I found on the list my E-Mail-address in this form: 'jzana-owner@hoya.kee.hu'!!!
This error occured only when I used OTHER hostnames in the E-Mail-addresses than our OWN hostname. Janos Zana

Thank you for your quick answer.

Wow. Sorry. There is Mailman 1.08b installed on a Linux (Debian) server. It has more lists (and I am the administrator of two lists named "kee-phd@elfiz2.kee.hu" and "dosz-mernok@phd.hu"). Members were registered in "bulk" section of admin page when the lists started. They use several domains, like "*@hoya.kee.hu" , "*@liliom.kee.hu" , "*@yahoo.com" , etc. According to the delivery report mailman tries to send reminders to "XYZ-owner@hoya.kee.hu" for example. It is so strange because there were no problems with traffic before (you have to know that these lists are young - 1-2 month old ). Of course these are not valid e-mail addresses.
In addition, mailman sent reminders to the members of "teszt@elfiz2.kee.hu" (it is not my list) with the same style. Error messages have all important information, group ID as well. Members of "teszt@elfiz2.kee.hu" had the ID of "dosz-mernok@phd.hu".
It seems chaos is to reveal itself...
I do not understand the meaning of "elfiz2.kee.hu" and "phd.hu". How do those names relate to the problem that you are seeing.
The name "phd.hu" covers a virtual host at "elfiz2.kee.hu". Both have mailing lists.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Ah. This sounds like a configuration error. Please go to the "General Options" page in your administration page. There is an option that reads:
"Send password reminders to, eg, "-owner" address instead of directly to user."
It sounds like that option has been set to "yes". You should set the option to "no".
If that is not the problem, then I am confused :-). Please check your configuration and let us know if this is the problem.
Thanks, -g

It was set to "no".
The next field is the suffix for "umbrella list". It contains "-owner" text. Should I delete it?
