Thank you. I finished most of the configuration of the combination of apache, sendmail and Mailman.
I built an mailing list named 'jive-list', and one site-wide list named 'Mailman'. I invite some users to the jive-list, and the users belong to local unix account can receive the invitations, but the external email address can not receive them. The invitation received by local unix users shown as (sorry it's a little long): --- --- --- invitation --- --- --- >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Feb 14 15:15:43 2006 Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from [192.168.1.68] (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by joe.com (8.13.1+Sun/8.13.1) with ESMTP id k1E7FhCI000768 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tue, 14 Feb 2006 15:15:43 +0800 (CST) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: Welcome to the "Jive-list" mailing list From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-No-Archive: yes Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2006 15:15:42 +0800 Precedence: bulk X-BeenThere: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 List-Id: jive-list.192.168.1.68 X-List-Administrivia: yes Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Length: 1193 Status: O Hi, it's the Mailman mailing list for jive newsgroup.

By the way, I didn't know how to configure my Solaris Unix to enable the network. Do I need to create and edit /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts or some other files. How to write them? Followings are my Windows machine settings in a LAN (My Solaris machine installed on a VMware which contain the Mailman, sendmail and apache).
