Turns out that others have had this problem. I finally solved it when I found that there were some lists that were working.
The problem was that in some places (on multiple servers) I had listname-owner -> listname-admin so when mailman sent a message out, it didn't get rewritten to the owner, but came back in on an address that made it look like a bounce. Not good. I ran the genaliases program in the bin directory, ran that through AWK and blew away all of my old aliases files (on multiple servers!) and now all appears to be well. So if you have this problem. Make sure that all your aliases are parallel (in an Euclidean geometry kind of way :-) --Brett On Tue, 2004-05-25 at 17:30, Brett Thorson wrote: > I just upgraded mailman from 2.0.something to 2.1.5.
