Assuming the answer to Matt's question is that you did send to the actual listname -owner address, the answer is your Mailman installation is missing some pieces. Every Mailman list has 10 addresses associated with it. They are the list's name @ the list's domain and 9 more with -admin, -bounces, -confirm, -join, -leave, -owner, -request, -subscribe and -unsubscribe appended to the listname. How mail to these addresses is actually delivered depends on the particular MTA. Some configurations use aliases such as the following example for the 'mailman' list on my development server to deliver to mailman, but there are other methods. # STANZA START: mailman # CREATED: Wed Dec 28 19:56:24 2016 mailman: "|/var/MM/21/mail/mailman post mailman" mailman-admin: "|/var/MM/21/mail/mailman admin mailman" mailman-bounces: "|/var/MM/21/mail/mailman bounces mailman" mailman-confirm: "|/var/MM/21/mail/mailman confirm mailman" mailman-join: "|/var/MM/21/mail/mailman join mailman" mailman-leave: "|/var/MM/21/mail/mailman leave mailman" mailman-owner: "|/var/MM/21/mail/mailman owner mailman" mailman-request: "|/var/MM/21/mail/mailman request mailman" mailman-subscribe: "|/var/MM/21/mail/mailman subscribe mailman" mailman-unsubscribe: "|/var/MM/21/mail/mailman unsubscribe mailman" # STANZA END: mailman Whoever is responsible for the Mailman installation on the server needs to fix this. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
