[Mailman-Users] Install question - was: Errors on mailman startup

[Malveeka Tewari]

Now I have managed to get mailman working correctly but for one small
problem.
Users can subscribe to a list, confrm the subcription, create new lists.

But they can't post to the list. I think I need to fix my postfix settings.
I am able to send mails to local users and also to other Internet mail
accounts but can only receive local mails but not from external mail
accounts.

Can you please tell me how to fix this?

Thanks
Malveeka
