No problem ! I usualy prefere to find the solution by myself :)

> To subscribe via e-mail send "blank" e-mail to

> mynewsletter-subscribe at list.mydomain.com or send e-mail eith subject
> "subscribe" to mynewsletter-request at list.mydomain.com.

Ok, it works when I send an email at
mynewsletter-join at list.mydomain.com ! I can see the mail passing in my
Postfix logs and the bounce from Mailman arrives, and I appear in the
Members List. So everything works fine. 

My problem was a permission problem :/ I've just tail -f the error log
file of Mailman and I got this :

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
'/var/lib/mailman/lists/rtcw-tux/config.pck'

Well, I think my installation of Postfix is not very clean. It has been
installed from the sources and I had a lot of problems to make Mailman
working fine with acting as a Mailing-List manager.

Anyway, this is a 'test' server. I'll try to set this system on a clean
installation :)

Ok, this step is working to. If, as a simple member of the list, I send
an email on mynewsletter at list.mydomain.com, it's rejected with the error
message I've defined, so that's ok!

Yep, this step is working just fine too.

Thanks for your help!

cheers,
Sylvain
