Users attempting to subscribe to my list have not been added lately and looking in my /var/log mail.log file I find the following.
Recipient address rejected: Relay acce ss denied; from=<chemclub-bounces@atom.chem.iupui.edu> to=<kforsyth@iupui.edu> p roto=ESMTP helo=<atom.chem.iupui.edu>
I'm using postfix as the main mail on the server and have pop-before-smtp configured to allow for relaying so I'm puzzled. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kelsey

There's not really enough information here to say. You don't tell us which machine this line is being generated on, or what domains it's supposed to be accepting mail for.
Give us more details regarding the situation, and perhaps we might be able to help.

I thought I had configured pop-before-smtp such that users could send and receive mail from any domain: My 'main.cf' file from Postfix has lines like:
# TRUST AND RELAY CONTROL # For use with pop-before-smtp smtpd_recipient_restrictions = hash:/etc/postfix/bad-recipient,permit_mynetworks ,reject_non_fqdn_recipient, check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/pop-before-smtp, # check_relay_domains,reject:forsythe # check_relay_domains hash:/etc/postfix/bad-recipient,check_relay_domains # /etc/postfix/bad-recipient
mynetworks = 134.68.0.0/16, 149.166.0.0/16, 156.56.0.0/16
I am not getting messages bounced when I send regular mail through the server but this 'relay' error appears when they try to join the MailMan mailing list.
Thanks,
KF

So, atom.chem.iupui.edu is claiming that "relay access denied" when atom.chem.iupui.edu connects to itself and tries to send out the e-mail?
It would help if you would share a selection of the log file which demonstrates this problem -- not just pasting the error in question.
mynetworks = 134.68.0.0/16, 149.166.0.0/16, 156.56.0.0/16
Where is 127.0.0.1/32? Is mailman configured to connect to "atom.chem.iupui.edu" as the relay, or to 127.0.0.1?

You're getting into problems with postfix, not Mailman. I think you're likely to get more help from the postfix-users mailing list, or perhaps related USENET newsgroups.
