RE: [Mailman-Users] "relaying prohibited by admin" error
hi, on my DNS server i set lists.mydomain.org to point to the IP addy of the server Mailman is on. I'm required to use LISTS.mydomain.org, because mydomain.org is already being used for another server.
as for Qmail, nope I'm not using it...

Well, check to make sure you've actually set up sendmail, or which ever MTA you ARE using correctly then. Relaying being prohibited usually means you have NOT set up your MTA on the server correctly. Remember, by DEFAULT the later versions of sendmail deny relaying. This is something you're going to have to change.

More than likely yes it is the problem, if you're using a distribution that has been released in, say, the past year or so, and haven't touched the config files.
As far as where your config files are, look for 'em in /etc/mail (on most distributions). If they're not there, grab a big ol cup of coffee, pull up your distribution's manual and start reading away. You'll have to do the latter anyways I'm sure, because enabling sendmail to relay to x server is not fun by any means.

- Wolfram Knipp Personally, I prefer Qmail.. It's just easier to administrate, and, believe it or not more secure.
Although, you'll hear quite a few other responses from quite a few other individuals, so I can't say what's best for you. I just know what works for me
I use postfix. I have several different lists that I host through different virtual domains. No problems so far (out of the ordinary).
