[Mailman-Users] 550 User Unknown when trying to post to mailman/sendmail list

[Melick Andy]

Bryan,
 
I didn't see anything like this in the mailman directions about creating an alias file. I do not have a alias file do I need to create one? Can you provide me with an example of an entry?
 
How do I run newaliases?
 
Thanks,
 
Andy

I have compiled my mailman.mc as sendmail.cf and put it in the "working dir". How does mailman create the sendmail users or does it use an alias for all of the lists?

Did you add the list aliases to the Sendmail alias file?

If you did, did you run newaliases?

I can't recall if you need to restart Sendmail for the new aliases to
take effect, but I always do, so did you restart Sendmail?
