Here is a chunk of the maillog file.

It is trying to send mail to jsullivan@mlsnet.com through the relay of mail.majorleaguesoccer.com - Same Server ---mlsnet.com and mail.majorleaguesoccer.com --- as far as the DNS/MX records go so it shouldn't make a difference.

Both of these domains (lists.mlsnet.com and mlsnet.com are on the same network)

Is there a way I can tell the mailman to resolve mlsnet.com locally rather looking for a relay on the internet - I think that is my problem but not sure how to fix it.

John,

I don't know exactly what you are running up against.

But a good place to look for clues are the various logs. I would start with <mailman_dir>/logs and check out the bounce log. Maybe the messages there would help.

Sendmail logs would be the next step.

Hi -

I am running RH 8 with Mailman 2.0. I am having a problem emailing the

from my internal network.

The list is setup to resolve the domain lists.mlsnet.com

I can send emails to the list from any external account - Ex. Hotmail.

But I cannot send emails to the lists from my regular corp email jsullivan@mlsnet.com <mailto:jsullivan@mlsnet.com>

Also when I send to the list from an external account - Ex Hotmail - It gets delivered to everyone on the list except for registered users from the mlsnet.com

I guess there is some kind of domain name resolution problem going on but I am not sure where to fix it. Also I am not sure whether it is a RH config or a mailman config.

Thanks for your help..
