Hello all,

I'm new to Mailman and trying to switch over from Majordomo to Mailman. But I'm having some problems I cannot find in a FAQ or so.

So any help is welcome.

Let's explain what I did, and my problem...

I installed Python-2.0.tar.gz I compiled and installed Mailman-2.0 as described in the INSTALL file.

I created the list 'test' as descibed and added the aliases. Run newaliases and read README.SENDMAIL but cause I don't use 'smrsh' nothing important to do for sendmail.

So far so fine... but then I tried to subscribe to my own list.

Using a separate account (vcepsv) on my PC (same PC as the sendmail/mailman software is running on) I subscribed on the 'test' list by using the web-page "http://remco.homeip.net/mailman/listinfo/test".

The subscribed account receives a mail (as expected), and I replied on that. And then the mail to 'test-admin' is not correctly delivered.

Here I have some lines from my mail-log file:

The mail caused by the web-subscribtion:

Nov 30 22:53:46 jupiter sendmail[11020]: eAULrjS11020: from=<test-admin@remco.homeip.net>, size=1538, class=-60, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200011302153.eAULrjS11020@jupiter.strijp.Ehv.nl>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=IDENT:65534@localhost [127.0.0.1] Nov 30 22:53:47 jupiter sendmail[11021]: eAULrjS11020: to=<vcepsv@remco.homeip.net>, delay=00:00:02, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=local, pri=138782, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent

Then the reply on the mail to confirm:

Nov 30 22:55:47 jupiter sendmail[11043]: eAULtlH11043: from=vcepsv, size=1546, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<20001130225547.A11024@jupiter.strijp.Ehv.nl>, relay=vcepsv@localhost Nov 30 22:55:50 jupiter sendmail[11045]: eAULtlH11043: to="|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test", ctladdr=test-request@remco.homeip.net (2/0), delay=00:00:03, xdelay=00:00:03, mailer=prog, pri=31546, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent

Followed by the mail back to the user vcepsv:

Nov 30 22:56:05 jupiter sendmail[11050]: eAULu5S11050: from=<test-admin@remco.homeip.net>, size=784, class=-60, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200011302156.eAULu5S11050@jupiter.strijp.Ehv.nl>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=IDENT:28@localhost [127.0.0.1] Nov 30 22:56:06 jupiter sendmail[11051]: eAULu5S11050: to=<vcepsv>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=local, pri=138114, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent

in which is standing:

"Your request has been forwarded to the list administrator for approval"

but this mail is never arriving at the list administrators email address:

Nov 30 22:57:04 jupiter sendmail[11058]: eAULv4S11058: <test-admin@remco.homeip.net>... User unknown Nov 30 22:57:04 jupiter sendmail[11058]: eAULv4S11058: from=<test-admin@remco.homeip.net>, size=1002, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=IDENT:28@localhost [127.0.0.1]

Very strange because I can send a normal mail to <test-admin@remco.homeip.net> which is delivered.

So what could be wrong here?
