What happens to those messages? [...] >I understand that mailman is trying to send messages to the address > >linux08-ow...@lists.virtual-bit.com > >but that address does not exist. The fact is that I do not want it to exist, >because I've configured my usual email address in the list owner field of the >list control panel. Why mailman sends to that address instead of mine? Because that's the way Mailman works. Many owner notifications are sent in two steps. Mailman creates the notice and sends it to the LIST-owner address. It is then received there and resent to the actual 'owner' and 'moderator' addresses. Thus, the the LIST-owner addresses MUST work and MUST deliver to "|/path/to/mailman/mail/mailman oener LIST". -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
