There are two separate things. Aliases of the form listname: "|/var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post listname" which map a local address such as 'listname' to a pipe command used to deliver that mail to Mailman (these have ':' following the local address) and virtual host mappings of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED] localname which map a virtual address to a local name (local address). These do not have a colon and do not go in an alias file. They go in some kind of virtual host mapping file (for sendmail, this may be /etc/mail/virtusertable). This is where you would put your [EMAIL PROTECTED] listname [EMAIL PROTECTED] listname-admin etc. entries, but note that these are only required if example.com is a virtual host. If example.com is the MTA's primary local host, these are not needed since [EMAIL PROTECTED] is already delivered to the local 'listname' address if possible. Aside, it may be easier to test addresses with sendmail -bt than with telnet. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
