[Mailman-Users] I can't get my mail list to work

2003-08-11 Thread Rick Cheney
Hello, I have a mailing list at www.hcmcnurses.org we are a non-profit
association and our web host, webmanix.com, is not very helpful.  We cannot
the mailing list to work.  The mailing list
[EMAIL PROTECTED] does not work. When I
create a mailing list I get the text below.  I didn't find an option on the
Control Panel for editing the etc/aliases or running 'newalises'.  I tried
making folders named etc/aliases and adding a text file named text.txt to
that folder with the information below, but it did not work.

The mailing list test on hcmcnurses.org with password test was sucessfully
created.

To finish creating your mailing list, you must edit your /etc/aliases (or
equivalent) file by adding the following lines, and possibly running the
`newaliases' program:

## test_hcmcnurses.org mailing list
test_hcmcnurses.org:
|/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/mail/mailman post test_hcmcnurses.org
test_hcmcnurses.org-admin:
|/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/mail/mailman admin test_hcmcnurses.org
test_hcmcnurses.org-bounces:
|/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/mail/mailman bounces

newaliases needs to be run by your mail host. It's not a mailman
function - it's dependent on the MTA.

Something's quite broken since it's combining your list name with your
host name.  test_hcmcnurses.org isn't a valid DNS name.

It looks like webmanix doesn't have mailman configured properly.  If
they're not going to help you with this, then you may need to find a
different mailman host.
