haha, no, that is fine. I am a beginner, so it is better to ask twice. :) And I am glad I can report I replaced it with the real list name, which I took from the bottom of the list's web page (and now please don't tell me I still used the wrong address).
If it is really the case that those e-mail addresses were never set up, I am surprised this can happen, but I took the lists over from someone else and cannot really say if anybody paid attention to this before. I will contact my IT colleagues and will report back :) Cheers, Christina ________________________________ From: Matt Morgan <minxmertzm...@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, February 13, 2017 3:57 PM To: Christina Endemann Cc: mailman-users@python.org Subject: Re: [Mailman-Users] lacking notifications when mails are held for moderation On Mon, Feb 13, 2017 at 4:16 AM, Christina Endemann <c.endem...@fsc.org<mailto:c.endem...@fsc.org>> wrote: At least I don't have easy access to the logs, so I tested the listname-owner@... address first, and in fact the mails could not be delivered. I got some "Diagnostic information for administrators" (Remote Server returned '550 5.1.1 RESOLVER.ADR.RecipNotFound; not found') and the advice to contact my helpdesk. So, does this e-mail address not exist, and our ITs have to set up this e-mail address first? That's what it sounds like, yes. But forgive me--just to be clear, did you literally type "listname-owner" or did you replace "listname" with the name of the list(s)? -----Original Message----- From: Mailman-Users [mailto:mailman-users-bounces+c.endemann<mailto:mailman-users-bounces%2Bc.endemann>=fsc....@python.org<mailto:fsc....@python.org>] On Behalf Of Mark Sapiro Sent: Montag, 13.

If you have access to the logs on the Mailman server you should see the following: In Mailman's vette log there will be and entry of the form Timestamp (pid) listname post from u...@example.com<mailto:u...@example.com> held, message-id=<...>: reason Note the timestamp in Mailman's smtp log within a few seconds after the vette log timestamp there will be 3 messages similar to: Timestamp (pid) <mailman.nn.tttttttttt.pppp.listn...@example.com<mailto:mailman.nn.tttttttttt.pppp.listn...@example.com>> smtp to listname for 1 recips, completed in ... The first of these is the held message notice to the poster assumind the lists respond_to_post_requests is Yes. Otherwise there will be only the next ones. The second is like the first except the nn in mailman.nn.tttttttttt will be the first nn +1. This is the admin notice sent to the listname-owner address. The third is like the second except it is the resend from listname-owner to the owner and moderator addresses and the '1 recips' will be the total number of owners and moderators. Then look in the system mail log at the time of these timestamps to see if these messages were delivered. Also, whether or not you have access to the logs, try sending an ordinary email to the listname-owner@... address and see what happens. It should be delivered to you, but it might bounce which will be the problem. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net<mailto:m...@msapiro.net>> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
