I created a new user on the mail server to test the command-line adding of members. The username created is julianh
I used the commands: echo [EMAIL PROTECTED] > /root/newuser /home/mailman/bin/add_members -n /root/newuser --welcome-mesg=y apc-staff The user is added to the list alright. But when I looked at the logs, it gave me this error message: Nov 15 10:17:54 cerveza postfix/smtpd[13257]: reject: RCPT from localhost[127.0.0.1]: 550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: User unknown; from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> What do this mean? Can you help me please? You see, i am creating a script that when you add a user to the box, it will automatically add the user to a mailing list and send a welcome message to that user so that when the user logs in for the first time, he will already have a message from me. If this was done through the web, everything is alright. But i really need to do this at the console...
