Hi, I am setting up Mailman with sendmail and apache2, and when I try to subscribe an address to the list with "send notifications to subscriber" turned on, I never receive the email.
logs/smtp says: Feb 18 01:08:17 2007 (77993) <mailman. [EMAIL PROTECTED]> smtp to mailman for 1 recips, completed in 0.018 seconds logs/smtp-failure says: Feb 18 01:08:17 2007 (77993) SMTP session failure: 553, 5.3.0 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... User unknown, msgid: <mailman. [EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm trying to figure out how to push the email through and I'm stuck. What could the problem be? (...) In the process of writing this email, I figured out the problem. I figured I'd send this anyway for future google searches. Many sendmail utilities automatically put a catchall in virtusertable: @sub.domain.net error:nouser User unknown So even though you wouldn't normally have to put entries in virtusertable, you do in this case, BEFORE the catchall, since virtusertable is interpreted before the aliases file. So once I put: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-admin [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-bounces [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-confirm [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-join [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-leave [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-owner [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-request [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-subscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman-unsubscribe in the virtusertable and reran /etc/mail/make, things started working. The mailman documentation doesn't mention this. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] 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
