[Mailman-Users] sendmail exit 2 error on lists

[Scott Russell]

All -

I did make that migration from majordomo to Mailman 1.2 beta 1 (checked out of cvs on
02/23/00) and only ran into one issue. One of my users had the following email address while
using majordomo:

  "Tim O'Flynn/DUB/xxxx" <Tim_O'Flynn at xxxx.com>

I used the bin/add_members script to import the list. This had no problems. The resulting
email address in Mailman was:

  tim_o'flynn at xxxx.com

The problem was sending mail to this list would result in the follwing error:

post(32390):   File "/home/mailman/scripts/post", line 86, in ?
post(32390):      main()
post(32390):   File "/home/mailman/scripts/post", line 62, in main
post(32390):      mlist.Post(msg)
post(32390):   File "/home/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 1260, in Post
post(32390):      Mailman.Handlers.HandlerAPI.DeliverToList(self, msg)
post(32390):   File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/HandlerAPI.py", line 55, in DeliverToList
post(32390):      func(mlist, msg)
post(32390):   File "/home/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/Sendmail.py", line 88, in process
post(32390):      raise SendmailHandlerError(errcode)
post(32390): Mailman.Handlers.Sendmail . SendmailHandlerError :  2 

Also, a MAILER-DEAMON error was sent to the sender whenever they posted to the list. The error
showed the above trace back and that a shell error had occured while processing the mail.

Any thoughts on how to solve this? It should be easy to replicate. If someone writes a patch
and it get's commited to cvs I'll update my copy and confirm the patch works.

BTW, once again, I know I've said it before, THANK YOU FOR AN OUTSTANDING PRODUCT.
 
Oh, I'm using postfix as my mail agaent, btw. Not sure if that mattered in the whole thing.
