[Mailman-Users] RH7.3 and sendmail 8.x problem

[peter schoch]

Ok, I've done some work...

The mailman does send out confirmations of subscribing to the list.  It just doesn't send out the mail messages.

>- is your MTA listening on every port or on >limited ports?

It is listening.  It archives all messages sent to the list!  It just won't send them back out.  I have tried to alter senmail's relaying by adding the domains of the subscribers, etc. but to no avail.  (Yes I did restart sendmail.)

I have minimal rules now to try and get this to work.

I have no files in ~mailman/logs/ directory.

Sorry, I was (and am) a bit frazzled as to why this is not working.  It is Red Hat 7.3.

Thanks,
