When you ran the test script and it delivered mail, did you specify SMTPHOST = '<128.253.175.139>' in the test script, or did you leave it as SMTPHOST = 'localhost'? If the latter, you could see if the test script fails to deliver with SMTPHOST = '<128.253.175.139>', or you could just remove SMTPHOST = '<128.253.175.139>' from mm_cfg.py and let it default to 'localhost'. >>3) you are not running the test script as the same user:group as >>Mailman's OutgoingRunner. > >How can I check to see what user & group the Outgoing Runner is running >as? I don't know exactly what executable program that corresponds to. A command like ps -Awf | grep python should show all the runners and their names and pids. It will also show the command used to invoke bin/mailmanctl. If this command does not contain the -u/--run-as-user option, then you can safely assume all runners are running as the 'mailman' user and group which would be the normal case. I suspect the problem isn't that though. I suspect the script will fail if you tell it SMTPHOST = '<128.253.175.139>', and Mailman will work if you remove SMTPHOST = '<128.253.175.139>' from mm_cfg.py. >No, Mailman doesn't send anything at all. Interestingly I can email myself >easily enough from this host using the mail command Which is probably using sendmail and not trying to connect to an SMTP server at <128.253.175.139> (which BTW is if anything, a name and not an IP address). -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
