[Mailman-Users] mail to non-existing list - Part two

[Jeff Bernier]

I have tested this by just making up names on-the-fly like nolist, or xyzlist, and get this result every time.

To get a message like that, the list must exist one *some* system -- 
perhaps not the one you think.

I would go to the mail server (e.g., if the list is mylist at myserver.edu, 
then ssh onto myserver.edu) and check the contents of /etc/aliases.  See 
who mylist at myserver.edu is aliased to.
