You can set up a program called 'fetchmail' to retrieve the mail from those remote machines and deliver it to the local mailman address. A "cleaner" solution would, in fact, be to forward those local addresses to the list address at the machine running mailman. Additionally, don't forget to set 'require_explicit_destination' to off, if the listname doesn't match the aliases you're using. -- - Patrick Bogen ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
