You either have not put the aliases (printed out when you created the list) into /etc/aliases -or- you have not run newaliases after editing the /etc/aliases file.

You can check out FAQ 3.14 which does a fairly good job of covering most post-install issues with Mailman version 2.0

Greetings everyone!

I am running mailman-2.0 on Redhat Linux 7.3.

I have successfully installed mailman onto my server. I have sucessfully added an admin and a few users through the web interface to a test list. Unfortunately, when I try to send an email on the list, I get this:

The original message was received at Thu, 29 May 2003 14:39:39 -0700 from apache@localhost

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <test2@sdo.net> (reason: 550 5.1.1 User unknown)

----- Transcript of session follows ----- 550 5.1.1 <test2@sdo.net>... User unknown

Mailman is sending mail out to users who subscribe, but the list itself is not operational. Is there a particular default setting I should look at?

Thanks! Colleen

Greetings,

I noticed your List is 'test2' instead of just 'test'

as most install paperwork describes...

Did you correctly alias everything to 'test2' or just

to 'test', which would possibly cause the problem? Additionally, did you create a user 'test2' for Mailman to deal with for the list traffic?

Just a thought...
