I'm having difficulty getting mailman with sendmail to work on a RedHat
5 box.
First, I check that sendmail's prog mailer is working. I add an alias
test: "|/bin/logger -i -p local3.info test"
to my aliases file, restart sendmail, and send test an email

So it worked.
/usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py contains
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = "wwwtest.xxx.uk"
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = "wwwtest.xxx.uk"
DEFAULT_URL_PATTERN = 'http://%s/mailman/'
#add_virtualhost('wwwtest.xxx.uk')
add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)
[r...@wwwtest mail]#
I've a mailman list set up, with a few members, and the appropriate
aliases are there.
mail -s test [email protected]

Now things go wrong, mailman (or sendmail) forwards the mail to the site
relay, mercury, which rejects it, user unknown. I _think_ it is mailman
forwarding the mail because if it were sendmail, there would be a log
entry of sendmail talking to the site relay.

This appears in the relay logs at the same time.

the site relay is configured in sendmail.cf in the DS parameter (smart
host).
Anyone got an idea of what I'm doing wrong?
