Mailman is running , and i have setup a test list. i subscribed 3
users. These user accounts are located on the primary box. Now i have
not setup an MX record yet. But i will once I figure out which way to
go.

delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with code 550:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: User unknown in local recipient table.

**doh**

i don't want a local delivery,..i want to send mail to the primary.
is there anyway i can do this?

This is based on your mail server and MX records.


You can create aliases on the main server and then point specific
aliases to a subdomain, or by using transport maps (Postfix).

One domain name means one main MX machine which can then feed mail to
secondary machines given correct aliasing.

Using a separate subdomain for Mailman would probably be easier
([EMAIL PROTECTED])... then you set up the mail server on the
Mailman machine to receive mail for lists.mydomain.com




greetings, thanks for the reply.
that makes total sense to me.
i am converting about a 100 alias files into maillists. and running them on a different machine.


correct me if Im wrong.
i setup my dns records
IN      MX      10 smpt1.mydomain.com.
IN      MX      10 smpt2.mydomain.com.

on smtp1 i create an alias

user-list1 --> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
user-list2 --> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
user-list3 --> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
etc,...

does that sound correct?
Do I have to edit any files as far as Mailman is concerned?
Should I relay my smtp traffic through smtp1 or just let the list server take car of itself?


thanks
