Apparently the MTA has whatever virtual maps/aliases are required to deliver to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> since I assume the list works, but it is missing those for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and how many others of <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, all of which should be deliverable in a "plain-jane installation". This is in the MTA configuration and possibly involves Mailman since it appears that mail.bytesmiths.com is running Postfix and you may be using Mailman-Postfix integration for automatic alias generation. If this latter is the case, you need to configure the things discussed in both sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 at <http://www.list.org/mailman-install/node12.html> -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
