You can use ./config-fast to configure qmail. or add an A record for sanfransisco.

No, I think he's looking for /var/qmail/rc. This is no directory, this is a
file. choose one from /var/qmail/boot/, copy and modify it.

This has come up on the list before. In at least one case, the problem was
that the clocks of the two machines were out of sync -- apparently qmail-pop3d
will not list messages dated in the future, so you see no mail. Sync the
clocks of the two machines with xntpd or djb's clockspeed and see if that
helps.

qmail-pop3d will not read mails that have a newer timestamp than the current
time.
make sure your time is synched between the boxes.
-----Original Message-----
From: Brett Randall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2001 2:52 AM
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: POP mail not appearing in a session
Maybe I'm just going crazy, but I am having stupid troubles with
qmail-pop3d.
I've got a server which has an NFS export (exporting /nfs/mail to *,
with rw, no_root_squash). I've got another server which mounts this
NFS share in the same location (/nfs/mail). Both servers are using NIS
and have exactly the same user information on both, and nsswitch.conf
both use nis first when looking for passwd and group.
Both servers start POP3 via:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
bigbird.domain.com /usr/local/bin/checkpassword \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
Both servers appear to authenticate me without any problems when I
open a POP3 session, but only the one that has the NFS share locally
actually shows any mail. On both servers, I can type 'ls
~brett_remote/Maildir/new' (assuming brett_remote is the username that
is stored remotely but accessed via an NFS share), and I can see all
the new mail. But the POP3 daemon on the remote machine shows that I
have no mail.
For those that are wondering, the `remote' machine is a server located
in another part of the city in another set of offices. We allow
external pop access (ie REALLY external, like when they dial into
another ISP overseas) for all our staff, no matter which offices they
are located in, as long as they point their mail software to one
single POP3 server. This POP server then goes and grabs the mail via
NFS for the user. This is where the trouble is coming in.
Does anybody know why I would be able to access e-mail from the real
server, but not another one mounting it as an NFS share? I've never
had this problem before which is why I think I am going crazy... And
all the permissions are fine. That's not likely to be the problem
since the same NIS maps are on both servers.
TIA!

While we're on the subject, why is this? I see nothing special about a
message in .../cur or .../new which happens to be dated in the future.
Is this a deliberate feature?

"BUG, n.: An undesirable, poorly-understood undocumented feature."
- The Devil's Dictionary to Computer Studies
How do you interpret the Delivered-To: header to determine what
address a message was really sent to? Specifically, I want to
figure out why the message below went to me (probably via a
-default address) instead of being discarded by Ezmlm's bounce-
handler.
home0 is the user account which handles the surrogacy.org
virtual domain.
Then comes a myterious "0." which I don't understand.
Any clues?

Indeed. I always find it amusing that people have a problem they
cannot solve, yet they know precisely what information is needed to
solve it.
Funny people.

Well, there are very good reasons for avoiding to publicly
post personal data about a subscriber to an infertility support
group.
Anyway, if no one can answer the question based on the
information which I have shared (which is very likely all the
relevant data) then I can read the qmail source and find the
answer there.
God bless you,
Norbert

It is not all the relevant data. Stop thinking *you* know what *we*

If you cannot publicly post the information, without obscuring or hiding it,
then you should hire a paid consultant (there are several listed at
www.qmail.org) to find and fix your problem. If you want free help from a
mailing list, expect to post real, unadulterated information.

Lots of people here can answer your question. They're just not going to even
bother to try if you arbitrarily replace useful information with '**CENSORED**'.

Indeed. But I don't think we need the user name. The contents of
control/virtualdomains file seems much more relevant, whether you have
any stuff in users/assign that might have any bearing on the problem,
relevant .qmail-* files, and ezmlm setup (though you might need to ask
the ezmlm mailing list instead if the problem lies in that direction).

Fine. If it needs to remain confidential, buy support from someone
identified on www.qmail.org and have them sign an NDA. Problem solved.
If you pay for support - they abide by your terms. If you want free
support then we ask you to abide by our terms. That's not asking too
much is it?

If you want to guess what we need then be my guest to guess away at
your solution, just don't ask us to guess.
Regards.
If that is the consensus of this list, I'll just go and read the
qmail source and not bother to contribute by posting the answer.
Is this what you want?

What are the configuration files/options that you feel should be
shared?
Just to make sure that it doesn't get forgotten, the question
was how to interpret the Delivered-To: header which was added by
qmail, not ezmlm. As (admittedly, not quite conclusive)
evidence for this claim I present the following grep, which was
done in the source directory from which the ezmlm executable was
built:
$ grep -i 'delivered-to' *.c *.h
ezmlm-get.c: if (!stralloc_copys(&mydtline,"Delivered-To: responder for "))
die_nomem();
ezmlm-get.c: if (case_startb(line.s,line.len,"delivered-to:"))
ezmlm-manage.c: if (!stralloc_copys(&mydtline,"Delivered-To: responder for "))
die_nomem();
ezmlm-manage.c: if (case_startb(line.s,line.len,"delivered-to:"))
ezmlm-reject.c: if (!stralloc_copys(&mydtline,"Delivered-To: command forwarder
for "))
ezmlm-request.c: "Delivered-To: request processor for ")) die_nomem();
ezmlm-send.c: if (!stralloc_copys(&mydtline,"Delivered-To: mailing list "))
die_nomem();
ezmlm-split.c: qmail_puts(&qq,dtline); /*
delivered-to */

We can understand your reasoning for not posting sensitive information,
however without such information it is VERY tough to decide what exactly is
the problem. Too much so to cause people to continue trying to help.
If you think that you have to mask your information perhaps you can send us
some information that doesn't need to be edited so that we can look at it
properly.
There is no need to continue this thread unless you are going to post useful
information.

Don't know, since I don't do ezmlm. But it seems very unlikely to be
an ezmlm problem anyway.
Your setup (which I won't repeat here, for brevity's sake) seems
eminently reasonable, and I cannot find any evidence there that would
point a finger at qmail. So let us return to the headers you quoted:

To me, that To: field whose address must surely have come from the
envelope sender, at least shows that the message arrived at iname.net
with the correct envelope sender. But I'm willing to bet a modest
amount that iname.net mangled the envelope recipient of the bounce
into <0.pps-l-return-64-**CENSORED**[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
with the results you have seen. At least, that theory is consistent
with everything you have shown us.
There it is, then: Not a qmail problem at all, but some external host
perhaps having troubles coping with an unusal form of email address.
Perhaps a sendmail.cf entry thrown off by the equals sign in there?
If you still have your log files lying around, you might look for
further evidence there, but I really don't think you can blame this on
qmail or ezmlm at all.
Oh, and concerning others' reactions to your hiding the user's
identity: It's just a reflex action, flaming everybody to a crisp who
does header mangling before asking questions. In 99.9% of all cases
the flaming is fully justified, since the mangling really throws away
useful information. But I think it's quite clear that this was not
the case here.

the explanation certainily rings true,
I had mails every now and again to my iname account saying a message
couldn't be deliveried by ezmlm and it hasnt happened since changing my
email server for the qmail mailing list

Because mail.com is run by a bunch of weenies, who have somehow
modified their SMTP server (which *was* running just fine until about
1Mar2001) so that it munges the envelope sender. I imagine that
there's a sendmail rule somewhere named "destroy the envelope sender"
that they turned on. Fortunately, you have to work much harder to get
qmail to munge the envelope sender.

Don't do this. I know you have good reasons, but if you aren't
willing to help us by providing full disclosure, don't come asking for
help. Remember: you have a problem, and you don't know where it is.
When you modify information that you think is unrelated to the

Write a shell or perl script that does what you want, and run the script
from cron. It would seem to make alot more sense...

I've installed qmail on a RH6.2 machine, following the instructions from
the SAMS qmail book and the Life with qmail doc.
The server is for the domain eeng.may.ie
My problem is that while all the tests in TEST.deliver work, some of the
tests in TEST.recieve fail.
When I telnet into port 25 it fails (see below for input and output), when
I send a mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] it succeeds, it fails when I send it
from [EMAIL PROTECTED], it fails when I try to send it from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using outlook (pop3 works fine though
using outlook).
Those that fail respond with Sorry, I couldn't find any host named
<domain>?. (#5.1.2)
Any pointers of where to start looking at?
Thanks,
Karl.

There are varied circumstances that cause AOL to silently
discard email. This is the AOL way of "spam filtering".
One AOL member has put up an inofficial FAQ at
http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/dropped-mail.html
I encountered a problem of this kind recently and an AOL staff
member (BTW how to contact AOL is explained in the FAQ mentioned
about) was kind enough to look at the problem. In that specific
case, AOL dropped many (but not all) emails from the mailing list
server because the reverse DNS for that server did not work. This
was beyond our control to fix (the service provider did not
respond to requests) and the problem went away when we moved
servers.
God bless you,

Based on my experience, not having functioning reverse DNS is
definately a factor in the algorithm at AOL's mailservers that
intentionally discards some incoming mail.

Bad idea. All kinds of local or remote DNS failures can prevent you from
resolving a remote hosts's DNS entries. However...

You misunderstand. tcpserver, in paranoid mode, will simply remove the
environment variable TCPREMOTEHOST if its forward and reverse DNS do not
match.
Note that if you wrap qmail-smtpd to refuse connections where TCPREMOTEHOST
is not set, you will block mail from hosts which have a reverse DNS entry
that does not match any of their forward entries.

Well, most, if not all my mail from received from unknown hosts are spam.

Read what I wrote again: a failure to resolve the reverse DNS entry of the
IP address which is connecting to your SMTP server does _not_ mean that that
IP address doesn't _have_ a reverse DNS entry. Network congestion, BIND
failure, or many other factors can prevent you from resolving that entry.
If you implement this, you _will_ throw away legitimate mail.
> Perhaps it's a bad idea, but is it possible?
I said how to do this in my previous email. I just didn't give it in a
step-by-step "edit this file, placing this line in it" fashion.

After going and looking at these, I'd say stay far, far away from them.
Based on the example regular expression file the author claims to use, it
appears the author knows little about SMTP or RFC822. In Dan's words,
something like this would "bounce a huge amount of legitimate mail and a
moderate amount of spam".

I do not know if this is a pop3 problem or some other problem. I am trying
to do a process of elimination to resolve the following problem:
I have RH 6.2 LINUX server with apache 1.3.12, djbdns, qmail, etc installed
on it. I can display my web page (on this server) www.tibonline.net from the
server and another computer which is connected to the Linux server over LAN.
However, I have not been able to display the web www.tibonline.net by a
dial-in. When I dial-in, the connection manager show that the connection is
being made and that UserID/Password are authenticated. But then the page
does not display. Please try connecting to www.tibonline.net and you will
see it by yourself.
I am trying to find out if the pop3 is the culprit. I am running qmail-pop3
as a supervised ( following Tim Hunters advise which was published on this
list 2/3 days ago). The run script for pop3
(/var/qmail/supervised/qmail-pop3/run) looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH
tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 qmail-popup mail.tibonline.net \
checkpassword qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1
Since the UID/PW are being authenticated, the above script seems to be
working. But why the next step to display the web page is not working? I
have looked into qmail-pop3 logs and there is no error.
Any thoughts, suggestions???

It's a standard Apache "congratulations, you've installed Apache" webpage.
What is the problem you are seeing? This has nothing to do with email in
any form, and especially not qmail/qmail-pop3d in particular.

Ok, I have to admit I am confused.
The Web Page displays OK for me, minus a graphic. You might check your ISP
if you cant view the page from your dialup.
But how does this relate to pop3?
Since when does pop3 use http? or a web browser? Why is the next step
displaying a web page?

dial-in. When I dial-in, the connection manager show that the connection is
being made and that UserID/Password are authenticated. But then the page
does not display. Please try connecting to www.tibonline.net and you will
see it by yourself.
I am trying to find out if the pop3 is the culprit. I am running qmail-pop3
as a supervised ( following Tim Hunters advise which was published on this
list 2/3 days ago). The run script for pop3
(/var/qmail/supervised/qmail-pop3/run) looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH
tcpserver -v -R 0 pop3 qmail-popup mail.tibonline.net \
checkpassword qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1
Since the UID/PW are being authenticated, the above script seems to be
working. But why the next step to display the web page is not working? I
have looked into qmail-pop3 logs and there is no error.
Any thoughts, suggestions???
Kirti
I am trying to figure out why I am not connecting via dial-in. Just a
process of elimination. My next step is to check some settings in network.
Thanks.

It's a standard Apache "congratulations, you've installed Apache" webpage.
What is the problem you are seeing? This has nothing to do with email in
any form, and especially not qmail/qmail-pop3d in particular.

Hi!
I have installed qmail outside /var/qmail and I see vpopmail don't work, if I create a

Can anybody tell me how to install vpopmail if qmail is in a different directory of

Hi, Kirti,
I am using a direct internet connection. Your problem is *not*
dialup.
It looks like you have dns issues. The authoratative nameservers
for your domain are ns and ns2.nova1.net; however, they return
non-authoratative answers and name themselves as authoratative.
Perhaps you don't have reverse delegation set up?
Your nameservers are also not returning an MX record for your
domain so mail won't route to you anyway.

HI,
There are two users called A and B. I configure A .qmail file with
forward option to redirect emails to B. When the message is sent to A
both (A and B) received the message.
How can I do to make forward option goes to B user without A user
receive the message.
Thanks,

Simply put "&address_of_B" into ~A/.qmail . This will forward all mail
which is addressed to A to user B. If there are no other lines in user
A's .qmail file, they will not get a copy of any mail.
Read the manual page for dot-qmail for further information.

Hello.
I installed the pop before smtp authentication package, so that the users
need to autheticate first before they can send mail.
But the problem ist that the readlog & qmail-send die unexpectedly. Then I
restart qmail and everything is fine again.
Anyone got a clue?
Thanks in advance

What Do The Logs Say?
If the logs don't say anything, strace/truss qmail-send and see why it dies.
Maybe flaky hardware.

How do you know your hardware is fine? Don't speculate.
And, which part of "What Do The Logs Say?" did you not understand? Where is
the result of strace'ing qmail-send? Why did qmail-send exit? Did it core
dump? Did it receive an unhandled signal?
Or, if you want an answer about as useful as your trouble reports, "It works
fine here."

Raghu,
Take a look at the tarpit patch - find this on
www.qmail.org. This will give you functionality
*similar* to what you desire - it should be
possible to alter it to suit your requirements
fairly easily.
cheers,
Andrew.
I've recently re-installed qmail w/ ./Maildir/ , and i get this on every
message delivery:
Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)
i set up users' Maildir directorys by changing to their home directories and:
>/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake Maildir
i tried changing permissions to make the directory writable, but then I get:
Uh-oh:_home_directory_is_writable._(#4.7.0)
I've looked at the docs, but I can't find anything on what home directory
permissions should be.
this is how i have it now:
drw-r--r-- djk staff

Chown the Maildirs to be owned by the users. Their home directories should
be mode 0755 or stricter in a default install.

hi all,
I am trying to run qmail 1.3 on my testing pc with FreeBSD4.2. I did made
it to send/receive mails to ~user/mailbox.
However i am trying to make it to deliver all mails to /var/mail/users. It
was not success.
I just changed the rc file as follow: (same as binm1 file)
============================================================================
========
#!/bin/sh
xec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" \
qmail-start \
'|preline -f /usr/libexec/mail.local -r "${SENDER:-MAILER-DAEMON}" -d
"$USER"' \
splogger qmail
============================================================================
======
Then restart qmail and send test message. The email did not go anywhere and
there is an error message in the log:
============================================================================

============================================================================
=====
My purpose of having qmail to deliver mail to /var/mail/ is that would be
easier for me to see everyone's email account at once, instead of going to
each one of their directory and no need to create link for new user account.
Please let me know what i missed.
Is there any good site for qmail admin? and what is the lastest version of
qmail and where can i get it if there is?
Thanks,
Derrick
Hello all,
Sorry for this kind of mail, but i've tried to unsubscribe through the
automatic way but it didn't work. Probably because this e-mail has several
aliases.

I can't help you with this. Nobody can. You have to do it yourself.
You'll have to look at the Return-Path header to determine the email
address at which you are receiving the mail. Then, send a piece of
email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Of
course, you should substitute the address you found in the Return-Path
header for the one I included.

A new version of vqadmin is now available.
vqadmin-1.3
Virtual Qmail Web Administrator (VqAdmin) is a CGI Web program to
allow virtual email hosting machine administators to add, delete,
and modify virtually hosted email domains and users using vpopmail.
Authentication is provided by ACLs and the Apache htpasswd method.
Machine Administrators can add/delete virtual email domains, and
tech users can admin user email accounts such as setting passwords,
disk quotas, and privileges.
Requires:
qmail http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html
vpopmail http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/
Changes
http://www.vpopmail.cx/vqadmin-ChangeLog
Download
http://www.vpopmail.cx/vqadmin-1.3.tar.gz
Changes:
1) fixed problem with creating new domains
2) Added autoconf / automake scripts.
The install procedure is now:
./configure
make
make install
3) Added support for creating virtual email domains
under any /etc/passwd user. The default is vpopmail.
4) configure/Makefile automatically detects which
libraries and headers to link.
5) New INSTALL documentation
Cheers,

Is this a replacement for qmailadmin? The docs on this program are
kinda scarce?
Anyway I tried to setup a test site so I could see what it did but it is
complaining about not finding my crypt.h file while building.
If someone could enlighten me a little bit about how this is going to
help me out I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Joe
BTW. I will submit a patch once I figure out why it is not building on
my box. FreeBSD 4.2, vpopmail-4.9.8(mysql).

hi,
this is slightly off topic but....
I use debian and I have always had mailx installed due to logrotate
depending on it. So with new security holes in mailx I was wondering what it
did and whether qmail-inject or something could do it instead (maybe with a
wrapper)?

You'll need a wrapper since mailx is a MUA and qmail-inject is part of a
MTA.
The most easy way is to apply the Debian security fixes by adding the
following line to /etc/apt/source.list
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free

I would like to make qmail accept email for * @ domain. There are several
domains set up, each with several accounts. What I would like to do is set
up a catch all (or if no user exists, qmail will deliver to a defined
user. i dont want mail to bounce.)
I have read documentation on ways to make this happen, but i still get
bounced mail to the domain in question. Is there an easy solution?
This is a snip of the users/assign file:
=beyondbroadcast-org-rah:popuser:888:888:/home/beyondbroadcast.org/rah:::
=minneapoliskc-org-acct1:popuser:888:888:/home/minneapoliskc.org/acct1:::

If the domains are virtual, just use an appropriate .qmail-default file to
handle them.
If, for example, you have a virtualdomains entry like:
virtdomain1.com:virtuser1
and you have .qmail files to handle specific accounts:
~virtuser1/.qmail-joe
~virtuser1/.qmail-bob
then just create the appropriate default file:
echo "&postmaster@bouncenomore" >~virtuser1/.qmail-default

Hi,
I'm installing qmail on LAN box and have not yet disabled sendmail.
When I run either of these commands
echo to: nonexistent | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
echo to: georgeg | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
mail goes through an external smtp. Why? I don't recall specifying the
IP (or it's name) for any service... sendmail, uses different "smart"
relay.
Shouldn't qmail-inject drop into a local account?
I've tried running ./config-fast with my box name (noe) and the domain
I'll masq as (WorldSite.WS), with the same results.
I'm also curious how WorldSite.WS got in the log; it's right but I don't
recall specifying it...

The output of qmail-showctl will tell you (and us) a lot more.
I guess is that you have worldsite.ws in /var/qmail/control/me and
something other than this domain in /var/qmail/control/locals

The qmail logs will say exactly what happened to that message. Where the
qmail logs are and what they are named depends on how you installed qmail.
Post the relevant entries of that log, and the output of `qmail-showctl`,
and we can help you.

Hi, I recently install qmail in a SuSE 7.0 Linux. I follow the instructions
of the document My life with qmail, but when I make the scripts for start,
stop and restart for init.d, I can't execute this script in root user, I
change the mode to 755 and I can´t execute this file. How can I do for
execute this script:
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting qmail: svscan"
cd /var/qmail/supervise
env - PATH="$PATH" svscan &
echo $! > /var/run/svscan.pid
echo "."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping qmail: svscan"
kill `cat /var/run/svscan.pid`
echo -n " qmail"
svc -dx /var/qmail/supervise/*
echo -n " logging"
svc -dx /var/qmail/supervise/*/log
echo "."
;;
esac
exit 0
Thank's, Carlos
P.D. I really want change the sendmail for qmail...

You really haven't given us enough information. You say you can't execute
the script; what error messages do you get when you try?
As a first guess, it might be that you have carriage return characters in
that file, and therefore the kernel is looking for "/bin/sh^M" to execute
the script.

Did you also create 'service' subdirectories and the 'run' scripts? (These
are described further down the page from the actual script itself.) Make
sure that all of the scripts and subdirectories have been created and that
the permissions are correct. e.g.,
%/var/qmail/service> ls -rl */*
...will show all of the scripts/subdirectories and their permissions in one
convenient screenful.

like this :
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at
sanfransisco.erakarsa.local.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message
to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry
it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Sorry, I
couldn't find a mail exchanger or IP address. (#5.4.4)
I want to use [EMAIL PROTECTED] to send and receive
mail rather than sanfransisco.erakarsa.local
Where's the change I've should make to make it work
...???

Do you have an mx record setup for the erakarsa.local domain?
You can find out by issuing either of the following (where
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip of your dns server):
djbdns way:
dnsq mx erakarsa.local xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
dig way (bind tool):
dig erakarsa.local mx
If you can't find any mx records, there's your problem. If
you do, add the domain to your rcpthosts and locals file. -sc

When compiling qmail, the compiler returns the message "make: ***
[qmakil-local.o] Error 127" and exits.
What does this error mean? How can I correct this?

Faried:
I've discovered that gcc and glibc weren't installed during the last system
upgrade. I think that this may be the culprit.
I'm trying to install the .rpm files and will let you know if this resolves
the problem.

I've been working on getting mailman set up and working with qmail for the
last month in my spare time. I already have qmail up and running happily
on two different systems, and I'm mailing from a qmail server so I know
it's working okay so far. I'm glad to be rid of snedmail, finally.
The major obstacle that I'm encountering with mailman has to do with using
virtual domains. I've meticulously followed the instructions included in
the latest mailman distribution, 2.0.3. Mailman includes a script called
qmail-to-mailman.py which catches all mail sent to 'mailman-*' locally and
runs it through the appropriate mailman commands to post messages to lists
or to mangle and manage administrative mails.
I've set up a virtual domain 'lists.unlambda.com'. This is a CNAME
pointing to 'mail.unlambda.com' which is my mail server. If I subscribe
or send mail to a mailman list from an account local to mail.unlambda.com
I have no problems at all. I mail from the list and administrative
requests are handled correctly.
If I subscribe or send mail to a mailman list from a remote system for
some reason I get bounces. I can *receive* mail from the list without
problem, but mail *sent* to the list from the remote system, and in fact
*any* mail sent to the 'lists.unlambda.com' CNAME (which should be
translated by virtualdomains: "lists.unlambda.com:mailman") causes a
bounce. The interesting part of the bounce is that somehow the
address 'lists.unlambda.com' is translated to 'mail.unlambda.com' before
it ever hits virtualdomains.
Here's an example scenario. I make a list called
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. If I send mail to this list from an account
local to the qmail server the mail goes through fine. If I mail this list
from a remote system then I get a bounce message like the following:

What I see there is that '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' never made it to the
point where the address was translated to
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Instead the 'lists.unlambda.com'
CNAME was translated to 'mail.unlambda.com' and then qmail finds that that
user doesn't exist.
Any clues what's going on? Should I just blow away both my qmail and
mailman installations and start from scratch? I've removed and
reinstalled mailman something like ten times now and I don't think that
it's mailman which is causing the problem. When it *does* actually get a
message it seems to be behaving correctly. But for some reason it's not
getting messages delivered other than locally.
Sigh.
