[Mailman-Users] mail transfer agent : PROBLEM

[Jon Carnes]

I've done this before and its very tricky to get it right.

The first step for you is to make sure that you can send and receive
mail - no matter how round-about your mail has to travel to end up on
your server. Sending mail out is not problem, its getting it back in
that can be tough.

I setup Postfix to send out my mail as though I were the ISP, so that
the email was from the proper domain and responses to the email
eventually ended up on my server.
Then I setup Mailman to send out using that domain as its default.

If you think that your mail is making it to the server, then look at the
Maillog and make sure that it came back in.
If that part worked, then look in the mailman logs and see if the
message was handed off to Mailman and if it then sent the message.

Basically look at your logs and figure out what is going on.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
