Hello, Now my mail system and Mainman are worse than before. Before, internet email addresses and local unix user account can receive invitations from Mailman when I do mass subscription or users (by internet email or local unix account) subscribe on the Mailman web page.
But now the invitations can be received. I can see the `new ...' and 'deleted ...' logs in /usr/local/mailman/logs/subscriber. The mail server (Solaris bundled sendmail 8) is still ok. I can send LAN emails via Outlook Express in Windows. What was I missing? By the way, when I create a new list (not site-wide one), Mailman will create an email address for it, but Mailman doesn't create a real email address for the list. Do I need to create that corresponding email address manually? Thanks in advance.
