Surely you haven't read the documentation...

To quote Jeremy Portzer: To find out information about an RPM's maker, etc., run "rpm -qip filename.rpm" . If you run that command on the Red Hat Linux mailman-2.0.13-1.i386.rpm, you'll see a bunch of EXTREMELY important setup notes -- things you must do after installing the RPM. Follow those instructions! Don't complain if you don't follow them and stuff doesn't work! *grin*

If that doesn't resolve your problems, then check out the FAQ entry:

G'day,

I'm trying to install mailman to manage a couple of mailing lists. We've got it installed, and run the tests (etc). Setting up a test list results in an email giving URls for the web configuration facility, which appears to work fine, and the subscribe page. Subscribing to it results in an email which give the test@servername and test-request@servername links. Neither work, giving a "550 5.1.1 <email address>... User unknown" error.

Am I missing something here? Surely mailman doesn't requrie the test@servername and test- request@servername to be configured manually on the server!

It's a RH7.2 server, running sendmail and apache. We're running mailman-2.0.13, the redhat rpm downloaded from rpmfind.net
