[Mailman-Users] setting up new list-Cobalt RaQ4

[Joe Keenan]

I'm just guess here (never used a RaQ system), but it oocurs to me that 
the RaQ sendmail config is probably set up for no local users.  That is, 
for relaying mail only.  It's primarily intended for network attached 
storage uses, right?

So you probably need to force sendmail to attempt to do local delivery of 
the Mailman addresses.  It's probably not looking at the aliases file at 
all, since it doesn't think that it's a final delivery point.
