Hi there,
I'm new to Mailman. I've searched through the online docs but can't
find anything that seems related to the problem I'm experiencing.
I've managed to install Mailman on my server and set up a mailing
list, I've received welcome emails both as admin and as a member of
the new list. The problem arises when sending mail to the list (I've
included the failure message below. Real domain and alias names have
been replaced for privacy reasons).
I use my hosting co's management console to set up new email aliases
on the domain. The only options available when setting up an alias are:
- Mailbox
- Forward
- SMS forward
None of those seem appropriate, so I'm not sure how activate this alias.
Any clues?
Thanks, Noel da Costa

Option #2 would probably be closest, but what you'd have to do is to set up the ten aliases needed for each list to be forwarded to a local program on the machine. If your hosting provider doesn't allow that, then you can't use their interface to set up aliases.
If your provider is using an MTA like postfix, with the right options specified in the Mailman configuration file then you can use mechanisms built into Mailman that can automatically generate the necessary aliases for you, and postfix will automatically pick up those changes on-the-fly. However, this also requires modification to the postfix configuration files, and if your provider doesn't allow that, then obviously this won't be an option for you.
In short, you really need to talk to your provider.
Moreover, this doesn't have anything to do with MX records, so the subject is misleading.
