[Mailman-Users] Urgent! Guys, I need help!

Yes ofcourse you have to have this in your aliases file or whatever postfix uses for mapping..

## test3 mailing list
## created 19-April-2002 apollo
test3:                    "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post test3"
test3-admin:        "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test3"
test3-request:       "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test3"
test3-owner:         test3-admin

then if it is aliases file then run newaliases or whatever the equivalent is on your system...

this will then fool the system into thinking it has a test3 user and send out the mail...

  Subject: [Mailman-Users] Urgent! Guys, I need help!


  Hi all,

  I need to setup a mailing list for a discussion group by this Firday, but now I'm facing a big problem (Maybe just a minor one for you guys), but it definately get me confused! I wish someone can kindly give me advice to fix this problem. I really need a hand!!

  I'm running Mailman 2.0.9 on Mandrake 8.1, using Postfix-20010228-pl03 as the MTA. I can send and receive email with the accounts on this machine porperly, so I assumed that both the Mandrake Linux and Postfix on my machine were well configured.

  When I create a list called "test3" with the "newlist" command in the terminal, the message shown seems no problem at all.

  ## test3 mailing list
  ## created 19-April-2002 apollo
  test3:                    "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post test3"
  test3-admin:        "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test3"
  test3-request:       "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test3"
  test3-owner:         test3-admin

  I do receive an email to notify me a new list "test3" has been created. When I add some email address to this list with the web interface, it works great! Then all those email accounts receive a welcome email with this message "...To post to this list, send your email to: test3 at warman.no-ip.com".
  Here the problem comes! When I try to post message with this given email address "test3 at warman.no-ip.com", I will soonly get an undelivered mail by the Mailer-Deamon on my Linux machine, the message looks like this:


This is the Postfix program at host warman.no-ip.com.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that the message returned
below could not be delivered to one or more destinations.

For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster>

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can
delete your own text from the message returned below.

			The Postfix program

<test3 at warman.no-ip.com>: unknown user: "test3"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Reporting-MTA: dns; warman.no-ip.com
Arrival-Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2002 01:49:32 +0800 (HKT)

Final-Recipient: rfc822; test3 at warman.no-ip.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; unknown user: "test3"


------------------------------------------------------------------------------


  Surely I don't have a user called "test3" on my machine, isn't that the Mailman should take the job to handling this?! What's wrong? Should I add any aliases  somewhere in the Mailman, and turn it back to work??

  Best Regards,
  Lewis Lau
