I'm getting more confused by the second... I've removed the list and re-created it without the "&" in the name.
What happend is I'm transfering from an old server to a new mailman server. The list created just fine and displays just fine. It seems postfix is recieving the list name seperated as two names instead of a single name. Messages to the old list server using the list name with the & in it are not a problem with postfix. But mailman must be doing or not doing something with postfix that caused the error. ----- Original Message Follows ----- > While this is all true to some degree, don't overlook something even > more obvious with regards to mailman, the web interface in trying > to display that list name would actually be trying to display a > page that takes a parameter.
