Hi Richard,

I just installed Mailman today from�RedHat.

Do you mean you installed from RPM, if so the MM version is likely to be in the RPM name.


I think it's the latest.

Rarely, if ever, is the latest stable version of MM available as an RH RPM, it usually seems to be on release behind. If all else fails, check the footers on the Mailman web interface, I think most of them stipulate the MM version being run.


For MTA,��I use exim.

What version?



I added the aliase generated by running newlist into /etc/aliases file and run newaliases after adding that.

That is what I would have done but ...


(is the a different file to add aliases to for exim?)

I'm a sendmail user so you may need more advice from an Exim (and possibly a RH) guru on the list.

What version of Mailman? Which MTA are you running?

But you may have missed adding the mail aliases for the lists to the
MTA's alias files/database so that the MTA knows what to do with the
incoming messages.

Mailman is probably "listening" but your MTA is not delivering,
probably because it doesn't know the mail aliases for the lists you
have created.
