The alias is expanded and invoking the wrapper which is invoking the 'post' script which says the list isn't found. >The list seems to be in /etc/aliases, > >=======8><----- >its-agp: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman post its-agp" >its-agp-admin: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman admin its-agp" >its-agp-bounces: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman bounces its-agp" >its-agp-confirm: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman confirm its-agp" >its-agp-join: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman join its-agp" >its-agp-leave: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman leave its-agp" >its-agp-owner: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman owner its-agp" >its-agp-request: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman request its-agp" >its-agp-subscribe: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe its-agp" >its-agp-unsubscribe: "|/var/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe its-agp" >=======8><----- Two questions: Do other lists that work invoke the same wrapper (/var/mailman/mail/mailman)?, and what do you see if you look at the above with something that shows 'transparent' characters? <snip> >[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman]# tail error >Aug 28 10:25:13 2006 post(16091): post script, list not found: its-agp >Aug 28 10:27:50 2006 post(16231): post script, list not found: its-agp >Aug 28 10:30:06 2006 post(16744): post script, list not found: its-agp Here again, the 'post' script can't find the list. I'm grasping, but either the wrapper invokes a post script from a different installation than /var/mailman (not likely), or there is a transparent character in the list name in the pipe in the alias. I can't off hand think what else it might be. >So I am a bit at a loss....suggests some sort of link within or to >mailman is broken..... What happens if you manually give the command python /var/mailman/scripts/post its-agp < /dev/null If working properly, there should be no error from the command and no entry in the error log, but there will be messages in the post, smtp and probably smtp-failure logs. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
