That's right. Then the MTA returns a bounce to testlist-bounces for each undeliverable address. > Is it normal to > see the testlist-bounces?

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST controls the domain exposed to the world for mailing TO Mailman. It has nothing to do with what domain we connect to for sending from Mailman. That is controlled by SMTPHOST which defaults to 'localhost'. I'm assuming that [EMAIL PROTECTED] above is a typo and you mean domainmta1.domainpriv.gov or maybe domainmta.domainpriv.gov since that's what you seem to actually have for DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST. So assuming the Sendmail you want to send (not receive) through is domainmta.domainpriv.gov, you want SMTPHOST = 'domainmta.domainpriv.gov' in mm_cfg.py. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
