Part of the problem is the term mail server can be confusing because there are two mail servers in the picture, a receiving mail server and a sending mail server. Mailman needs run on the same machine the receiving mail server is on otherwise your aliases will not work. The reason is because when the receving mail server receives an email destined for a mailman list the mail server will via its aliases determine the destination for that list email is a program called mailman, thats what all those aliases are all about. The receiving mail server then hands the incoming list email to the program mailman. It can only give it to the program mailman if mailman is running on the same machine. Mailman in turn takes the email it received and looks up all the members of the list and forwards the email to each of them. To do this mailman invokes a sending mail server. Often the sending and receiving mail servers (SMTP) are the same and run on the same box. But you can direct mailman to use a different sending SMTP server via the SMTPHOST variable. Summary: mailman and the receiving SMTP server must be on the same machine. You description is a bit confusing because the way I read it mailman has in fact received the list email (your previous post shows mailman sending smtp posts). It could only have done that if it the its running on the same machine as the receiving SMTP server and the aliaes are correct. I suspect what actually occurred is those are examples from mail sent on the machine mailman is running on where everything will resolve correctly. -- John Dennis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
