on mailing to my list: user (=listname) unknown; (sendmail-mailman config error?)
Hi,
I have installed
- mailman
- apache
- sendmail
Successfully created a list, got a confirmation eMail from list. But on mailing to the list listname = "mylist", I get the following error:
<mylist@smesrv.sme-union.org>: 217.136.223.232_does_not_like_recipient./Remote_host_said:_550_5.1.1_<mylist@smesrv.s me-union.org>..._User_unknown/Giving_up_on_217.136.223.232./
It seems to me like the mail delivery agent tries to put the mail to the correct user "mylist", who doesn't exist. So what can I do that mailman recognizes its for him.
Further information:
smesrv.sme-union.org = 217.136.223.232
On Configuration I followed the INSTALL and the README, being included in the mailman distribution.
Furthermore in sendmail, /etc/mail/access there is no "discard" ... which could falsly generate that 550 error message
mm_cfg.py: DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'smesrv.sme-union.org' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'smesrv.sme-union.org' add_virtualhost('smesrv.sme-union.org','smesrv.sme-union.org')
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is there any further information about the system which I should provide?
Regards
Walter

You *did* create an alias file for sendmail (or modify the existing, that is)?
