Install Issue -- Qmail/Mailman Interaction
Hi There,
I installed mailman on a system that is running Qmail and virtual domains. The Mailman GUIs from the web and the command line seem to be working correctly. I created a list "testing" and performed a mass subscribe of a single email address -- mine. Membership management from the web shows one person subscribed. This all seems to be working.
I sent an email to testing@dom.ain which was rejected with the following:
<testing@dom.ain>:
xx.xx.xx.xx does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.7.17) Giving up on xx.xx.xx.xx.
I believe there is a basic interface issue between mailman and Qmail. Please give me some pointers on how to get this sorted out.
Thanks! Greg
PS. This could have been caused by configuring this new server while most of the production DNS records were pointing at the old server including "list.dom.ain". All production DNS is now pointing to the new server so this should no longer be an issue.
PPS. I'm sorry if this is the second post for this topic but I can't see anything in the archives after several hours.

I don't know Qmail, and Qmail's aliases have always been a particular mystery to me, but aliases are required for Qmail to properly pipe mail to Mailman's wrapper. This is described in the installation manual at <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/qmail-issues.html>. If that material doesn't tell you how to proceed, I suggest you ask on a Qmail list/forum.

I don't know why you didn't see anything in the archives (it's there now), but my server received your original by email from the list about 7 minutes after you sent it (over 6.6 minutes of that was in greylisting of your first post).
