You may have a rights issue. su - mailman bin/check_perms

if that comes up clean, try editing /etc/mail/access and adding the ip address of your server followed by the keword "RELAY"

That should brute force Sendmail to allow any mail from this machine to be sent.

Ok, so after some help from a few very awesome folks... I reconfigured mailman using the --with-mail-gid=1

the email i was receiving back said that it was looking for gid 6 but was getting gid 1, so I recompiled with that gid. I looked through etc/passwd and the daemon is set as gid 1. I dont know what that means, but I went with it anyway...

well, now when I send a message to a listserv, I do not receive an email telling me that the gid is wrong, but the email also does not get through to the members of the listserv. Its as if it just gets stuck somewhere...

Any ideas? Any log files I could look at for clues?

Everything else is still working great, web stuff still works, it still sends out welcome messages when you add people to groups, etc...

If its any help, the mail server is linux based. I am actually operating a web server from a win2k box and the mail server from a separate unix box, the web stuff is administered from the ip of the mailserver. (66.111.67.23/mailman/admin/)

With that being said, should i just put myself out of my misery, or are there any ideas?

thanks

russ
