Ok, that helps. I created the mysql entry in passwd, and in system (aliases) and it works sort of.
I send a mail to it and I get an undelivered because I am not subscribe to the list. Even after I manually did a "couriermlm sub <dir> [email protected]" When I do an lsub it shows me. Will whack at that some more, but hey, it's talking to my list so I am happier :) And I get all sorts of logs now. Thanks!
