[Mailman-Users] Incoming messages are not received in Mailman + Postfix

Tue Jul 26 01:50:54 CEST 2005

Greetings!

I am having a problem with receiving any mail by the web server. On the 
other hand, outgoing mail is deliver okay. I suspect that it may be due 
to a misconfigured postfix.

I have tried all of the steps in the faq without any avail:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.014.htp
.

I've installed Mailman 2.1.6 from source on Mandrake 10.1 and followed 
the instructions for Mailman+ Postfix. I have also checked all the logs 
as per the faq entry and syslog: all of them seem to be fine.

Any help will be appreciated.

Roy
