I need to setup a mailing list for a discussion group by this Firday, but now I'm facing a big problem (Maybe just a minor one for you guys), but it definately get me confused! I wish someone can kindly give me advice to fix this problem. I really need a hand!!
I'm running Mailman 2.0.9 on Mandrake 8.1, using Postfix-20010228-pl03 as the MTA. I can send and receive email with the accounts on this machine porperly, so I assumed that both the Mandrake Linux and Postfix on my machine were well configured.
When I create a list called "test3" with the "newlist" command in the terminal, the message shown seems no problem at all.
## test3 mailing list
## created 19-April-2002 apollo
test3: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post test3"
test3-admin: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test3"
test3-request: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test3"
test3-owner: test3-admin
I do receive an email to notify me a new list "test3" has been created. When I add some email address to this list with the web interface, it works great! Then all those email accounts receive a welcome email with this message "...To post to this list, send your email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]".
Here the problem comes! When I try to post message with this given email address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", I will soonly get an undelivered mail by the Mailer-Deamon on my Linux machine, the message looks like this:
This is the Postfix program at host warman.no-ip.com. I'm sorry to have to inform you that the message returned below could not be delivered to one or more destinations.
For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster> If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the message returned below. The Postfix program <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: unknown user: "test3"
Reporting-MTA: dns; warman.no-ip.com Arrival-Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2002 01:49:32 +0800 (HKT) Final-Recipient: rfc822; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Action: failed Status: 5.0.0 Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; unknown user: "test3"
Surely I don't have a user called "test3" on my machine, isn't that the Mailman should take the job to handling this?! What's wrong? Should I add any aliases somewhere in the Mailman, and turn it back to work??
Best Regards,
Lewis Lau
