[the following is looong but has lots of supporting docs...] [BACKGROUND]
Hello. I am trying to implement a dedicated Mailman system on a RedHat 9 server. I really want to get this working, but I am having some problems with "User unknown". The software revs involved include Mailman 2.13, Sendmail 8.12.8-9.90 (from patched RPM), the mm-handler contrib, MIMEDefang 2.38, SpamAssassin 2.60, Razor 2.36 and all the required perl modules. Except for sendmail, everything was compiled from source. Mailman is installed in /home/mailman, varprefix is /var/mailman, and cgi-gid = "apache", mail-gid = "mail". (I have suexec running on this apache 2.0.40 (RPM) webserver, but no SuexecUserGroup line for the mailman virtual site.) The mailman URL is "http://lists.digimark.net/mailman/listinfo";. The mail domain is lists.digimark.net and this is dedicated to the installation. I am also setting up "lists.snpp.com" in the same system. [The PROBLEM] The problem is that every message to the system is being rejected with a "User unknown" message. Specifically: Nov 26 03:27:48 cello sendmail[20336]: hAQ8RlUt020336: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... User unknown Nov 26 03:27:48 cello sendmail[20336]: hAQ8RlUt020336: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=1609, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=mailsrv1.tranzpeer.net [202.180.66.207] (simpsons-l is one of the lists in lists.snpp.com, but it is doing it for all lists.) >From tests and logs, it appears that Sendmail is configured OK, Mailman is installed and running fine, SpamAsssassin, MIMEDefang etc are all working. I've implemented the mm-handler contrib -- mm-handler is installed in /etc/mail and is executable, the MM variables in the script are set $MMWRAPPER = "/home/mailman/mail/mailman"; $MMLISTDIR = "/var/mailman/lists"; $SENDMAIL = "/usr/lib/sendmail -oem -oi"; $VERSION = '$Id: mm-handler,v 1.2 2002/04/05 19:41:09 bwarsaw Exp $'; Since this wasn't making the right connection between sendmail and mm-handler, I started installing the Python patch from patch #644810, but got stopped after applying both the existstatus and mailer patches, because I couldn't find the replacment proto.m4.patch to apply. I need to stay with this installation, can anyone offer help?

Mm-handler relies on your having a single domain (hostname) dnl that serves only lists, with no users. To avoid potential namespace dnl conflicts, you need not to have this list domain included in $=w. dnl As a result, virtuser mapping does not apply for the Mailman dnl list domain. However, you can pre-empt this rule by defining dnl $={VirtHost}: if there are domains in this class, they will be dnl mapped before $=w is mapped. VIRTUSER_DOMAIN() defines this class.
