The above message in your smtp-failure log comes from the SMTPDirect.py module when it is trying to send outgoing mail (it only does outgoing) and the SMTP transaction fails with an SMTP error code for a reason other than recipients refused. The message says user is User unknown - this may mean that the intended recipient user is unknown, but this really isn't consistent with 553, 5.3.0. From RFC 2821 - "553 Requested action not taken: mailbox name not allowed (e.g., mailbox syntax incorrect)" and from RFC 1893 - " X.3.0 Other or undefined mail system status - The destination system exists and normally accepts mail, but something about the system has caused the generation of this DSN." It looks to me like Mailman has received your subscription request and is trying to send you a confirmation and is being rejected either because the outgoing MTA doesn't like "[EMAIL PROTECTED] as an envelope sender (SMTP FROM command) or something doesn't like the recipient or more likely the recipient domain. This doesn't look like an alias problem. >My http server name is www.pakishop.com so is it okay for giving >mailman URL a >virtual host name which is info.pakishop.com. Yes, but if you can normally receive mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you can send from your local host to [EMAIL PROTECTED], you shouldn't need to do this. Assuming you're not supporting other domains, You could put the following lines in mm_cfg.py DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'www.pakishop.com' DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'info.pakishop.com' add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) If you change these things in mm_cfg.py, you will probably need to use fix_url.py to update the data for existing lists. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
