We want to be able to have root user send out emails to any distribution list..
Currently we have an instance of mailman were this works. I checked and noticed that root is not added to the membership list. So not sure were in the config you can set this to. In the new instance of mailman that I set up, when I send out mail to distribution list I see these get queued but no mails are received by the members of the distribution list.. Any help is much appreciated..

As to approving change of address requests, are you sure this is really needed? Normally subscription approval is used to allow the list to only go to "approved" people, so when the subscription comes in, you approve the PERSON to receive the list, if they then chose to receive the list at a different address, that shouldn't be an issue. -- Richard Damon ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/krao%40teslamotors.com ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
