Well, IIRC, you're sending mail to a list which is actually a Mailman system alias. Once Mailman receives the mail, it then sends mail out to the list members. Since Mailman sends the mail from localhost, you need the ability to relay from localhost. It's not as if you have to allow relay inbound from other hosts. I wasn't pointing you at the docs regarding the relay issue. The docs contain information on setting up your aliases properly. That's the part most folks usually trip up on. I really don't think relaying is an issue. It's likely that your user aliases aren't set up properly. Since sendmail doesn't recognize the user for inbound mail, it considers it to be an attempted relay. But don't hold me to that. ;-) -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
