And now further to this... I've gone ahead and created a Mailman list, and it told me to create the following aliases:
elc-testlist: |/var/mailman/mail/wrapper post elc-testlist elc-testlist-admin: |/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner elc-testlist elc-testlist-request: |/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd elc-testlist elc-testlist-owner: elc-testlist-admin so I did, and ran makealiases. But when I send a message to the list it's complaining about "User Unknown". I've created a userdb file with: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <tab> mail=/var/mailman/archive/private/elc-testlist.mdir|uid=41|gid=41 but I still get the "User Unknown" problem. Any thoughts?
