I have mailman installed with a RedHat rpm, version mailman-2.1.5.1-34.rhel4.5 Everything works great except that the list owners or moderators do not get any requests when postings are held. Posters get the message that the posting is waiting for approval. Any suggestions on what might be causing this problem would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
Paula

If so, do you see three entries in Mailman's smtp log similar to the following from the time the message was held.
The first of these is the notice to the poster, the second is the notice to listname-owner@example.com and the third is the resend of the listname-owner@example.com message to the actual owners and moderators.
Note that all three have Mailman gererated Message-Ids and that the 2nd and third have the same Message-Id which differs from the first only in that the first numeric field is incremented by 1.

I do have admin_immed_notify set to yes.
I am only getting the first two of the entries in the mailman smtp log. So, the resend to the actual owners isn't happening.

If so, do you see three entries in Mailman's smtp log similar to the
following from the time the message was held.

The first of these is the notice to the poster, the second is the
notice to listname-owner@example.com and the third is the resend of
the listname-owner@example.com message to the actual owners and
moderators.
Note that all three have Mailman gererated Message-Ids and that the 2nd

It seems there is some problem with delivery to the listname-owner address. Perhaps an alias problem.
What happens if you email the listname-owner address directly?
What's in the MTA log for the mail to listname-owner?
-- Mark Sapiro <msapiro@value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

There could be an alias type problem. If I send a message to listname-owner@servername.domain.com the message gets sent to the list owners, but if I send the message to listname-owner@domain.com it doesn't get sent.
When the messages aren't going through the MTA log entries are as follows:
Mar 24 13:38:59 frost sendmail[7404]: l2OHcxQ0007402: to=<trustees-owner@monroe.lib.in.us>, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=231017, relay=mail.monroe.lib.in.us.

Thanks so much for your assistance. I just needed to set 'hostname this list prefers' to servername.domain.com rather than just domain.com. We have most of our mail on another sever that is set to domain.com and will send emails for the mailman lists on to the mailman server at servername.domain.com. So, emails sent to either address will get to the mailman lists and now those for the owners will get sent out properly from mailman.

This may be an MTA/alias issue. The real question is what is the email
host name you want to use for your list. If it is
servername.domain.com, then your list and possibly your Mailman
installation is misconfigured.

or listname@domain.com.
