I'm installing on Suse 7.3, I have python 2.1.1 and latest stable mailman. Using Sendmail. I have it working more or less on local lan, but outside of it, email clients do not receive mail from it. They can send. I get error messages locally to my root and user email accounts on the server every 5 minutes or so:

Here's a snip of my mm_cfg.py:
############################################### # Here's where we get the distributed defaults.
from Defaults import *
################################################## # Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line. IMAGE_LOGOS = '/icons/' DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.dorydesign.com' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'dorydesign.com' add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
(I thought you would add the actual host names under the add_virtualhost line but it returns errors when trying to start or stop mailman).
I figure it is probably a simple mistake or overlook. Hopefully someone can lend a hand. I can post more info - just not sure what is needed. My /etc/aliases contains the suggested aliases from the INSTALL. My hosts file has 127.0.0.1 localhost and then also its IP Address and linux.local (the name of server). Not sure if I need to add anything more there.
Perhaps I just need more in my mm_cfg.py file ? or perhaps a permission problem with cron?
Thank you very much for reading and also to anyone who may offer ideas/inquiries!!!
