Yes ofcourse you have to have this in your aliases file or whatever postfix uses for mapping..   ## 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 then if it is aliases file then run newaliases or whatever the equivalent is on your system...   this will then fool the system into thinking it has a test3 user and send out the mail...   :) Rob Morin(Mr.Legacy) System Administrator inter.net/TotalNet Montreal, Canada 1.514.487.4707 [EMAIL PROTECTED]     ----- Original Message ----- From: Lewis Lau To: Detlef Neubauer Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 2:49 PM Subject: [Mailman-Users] Urgent! Guys, I need help! Hi all, 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.

What's wrong? Should I add any aliases  somewhere in the Mailman, and turn it back to work?? Best Regards, Lewis Lau
