I'll remove those changes. The exact response is: 550 [PERMFAIL] bellsouth.net requires valid sender domain (in reply to RCPT TO command)) I should have paid more attention, sorry. Is not the RCPT TO command itself but the reply to it and I believe it is referring to my mailman/SMTP server. I can't tell you the specific difference because there are no useful messages (just a 250 sent message) when it is successful. My main point was that a message formed by the 'mail' command, on the same server, works so it seems a mailman config issue. I don't think SMTP-AUTH matters since both go through the same local 'SMTP' server to the same ISP mail server. Right? Isn't the mechanism 'sendmail' in both cases to my SMTP server? Or is 'mailman' trying to talk directly to my ISP's mail server? I don't recall doing anything special with mailman when it was working for my ISP's mail server. I may have done something to 'postfix' specifically for mailman but I don't recall what. At 06:24 PM 1/10/2008, you wrote: The changes you made in mm_cfg.py DEFAULT_REPLY_GOES_TO_LIST = 2 REPLY_TO_ADDRESS = '<acceptable host/domain>' have nothing to do with this issue. First, they only set defaults for new lists. They have no effect on existing lists. Second, they only have to do with a Reply-To: header in outgiong list posts which has absolutely nothing to do with your problem. >On the >other hand, why would it complain about 'RCPT TO' rather then 'MAIL >FROM'? Lots of reasons. It could be a relaying issue which can't be detected until the MTA knows the destination, or it could just be that the MTA is configured to do the FROM domain check at RCPT time in the SMTP transaction. What is the exact reject response from the MTA? What is the difference between 'non-Mailman' mail that works and Mailman mail that doesn't. Does the non-Mailman mail come from a different envelope from domain? Does non-Mailman mail use SMTP-AUTH to authenticate to the ISP? - -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
