See below. >But I went and created a second list via the http://...../mailman/create >URL. Where is the information about this list kept?

All of a list's configuration and membership date is in Mailman's lists/LISTNAME/ directory in a Python pickle file named config.pck. You should see both a mailman/ directory and a <second_listname>/ directory, ewch containing config.pck, config.pck.last and possibly a few other files. You may be thinking that the 'mailman' list data is in the file data/sitelist.cfg. That is not the case. The data/sitelist.cfg is a suggestion intended to be used as input to config_list for the site list because normal defaults may not be appropriate for the site list. I.e., bin/config_list -i data/sitelist.cfg mailman >I have asked over on the postfix list if anyone there is running Postfix >with SQL and mailman and so far only one person has piped up siging the >praises of Postfix with the SQL backend, but nothing on Mailman. So I >need a bit of help here... Mailman's aliases must be processed by Postfix's local delivery module. If you are dealing with them manually, they can be put in /etc/aliases, or Mailman/Postfix can be configured to generate them automatically. However, this assumes that the delivery module for the domain is Postfix local delivery. If you have put something in main.cf that uses some other delivery for the mailman.domain.com domain. In that case, you may find the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/ZoCj> of interest. If you need further help, please post the output of 'postconf -n', the relevant parts of main.cf and the delivery status message from the Postfix log or the received DSN when you attempt to mail to a list address. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
