I'm having some small trouble with my Mailman list management setup that I was hoping someone could shed some light on.
Summary of the problem: ----------------------- I think Mailman has decided that it's running on the digitalelite.com domain, even though it is not. Mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] coming from the list is getting stopped because Postfix thinks it should be a local user and throws an error 550 as a result (because these are not local users). The mail gets into the list archive, and it goes out to members that are not using digitalelite.com addresses. Two things. The lists are digitalelite.com addresses (which is where the domain name is coming from) and this issue only occurs on new lists. The first two lists I created seem to work just fine. The new one I created after I thought everything worked has this issue, leading me to believe its an issue with Mailman rather than Postfix (my MTA of choice). Details of the problem: ----------------------- I have a domain (digitalelite.com) and that domain's mx is hosted by another company (1and1.com). I set up my home server (which is is no way associated with digitalelite.com) as the mailing list server for digitalelite.com. That home server machine name is called Mordor.MiddleEarth. I've set up Postfix to not accept any mail from anywhere but itself (the external port 25 is blocked by my firewall and I've set inet_interfaces = localhost in /etc/postfix/main.cf). I created new lists with /usr/local/mailman/bin/newlist and I've created an /etc/fetchmailrc that grabs each list address and points it to the new lists. When setting things up and trying to get it all working, I created two lists (list1 and list2 we'll call them). Those lists work just fine in all respects. However, once I thought I had everything working I tried to add another list (we'll call it list3). Only for list3 do I get this problem. The problem, as described above in the summary, is that it has decided that its domain is digitalelite.com, even though it is not. Mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED], just for this one list, coming from the list is getting stopped because Postfix thinks it should be a local user and throws an error 550 as a result (because these are not local users). The mail gets into the archive for list2, and it goes out to members that are not using digitalelite.com addresses. If it were a problem with the mydestination variable in main.cf wouldn't that affect all lists? Maybe not. What could cause this behavior to only affect some lists and not others?. I've been staring at these config files so long now that they are started to jumble up in my brain. I have googled til I can't google no more and still I can't find an answer there and I'm desperate. :-) I can share any config info needed. Anyone that can shed light on this list behavior will be profusely thanked (sure my thanks are worthless, but they're all I've got <g>)! -Tom Caudron -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
