Hi;
I have install mailman on iplanet server 5.2;I have made everything at this page http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2002-October/023438.html but do not running. When I send a message to test mail list I have a error. This error is 550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It looks like a simple aliasing problem. You'll need to find your aliases file for your distro (mine is /etc/aliases), and add something like:
test-owner: "|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner test"
...to it.
When you created the list it should have given you this list of aliases to insert. There is one alias for each virtual email address used by mailman: test-request; test-subscribe etc. I can post my aliases stub here if you want.
Then rebuild the aliases db with something like: newaliases
It could also be a problem with your MTA as well. For example, Sendmail won't allow any application to send mail unless it resides in a specific directory (in my case /var/adm/sm.bin). To fix this problem, I had to place a link to the mailman program in /var/adm/sm.bin:
$ ln -s /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman /var/adm/sm.bin/mailman
and change the aliases line to use the symlink instead of using the binary directly. The line would look something like this:
test-owner: "| /var/adm/sm.bin/mailman"
