[Mailman-Users] Mailman not sending to correct address

2003-09-10 Thread Justin F. Knotzke


   I am using Mailman 2.1.2 on a Debian box with Exim 4.2.

   When I add myself to a list as say '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (where mailman
is not installed or virtual-hosted on foo.com). Mailman always sends the
mail to jknotzke on localhost instead of @foo.com because there is a
jknotzke account on localhost.

   Yet if I send regular mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the mail arrives at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and not localhost.

   Why is this?
 
   Thanks

   J

mailman sent the message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but your MTA decided that
localhost was good enough.  Have a look at your mailer tables to see if
your localhost system also claims to be able to receive mail for foo.com

   I am 100% sure that is not it. If it were, sending mail without using
mailman to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would result in the mail arriving at
localhost.

   It does not. The mail arrives at the machine which handles foo.com,
on another network.

   Its _only_ when I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using mailman does
this happen.

   Thanks for the reply.

 localhost.

   Ok make that %50. I just tested again and my MTA sends the mail to
localhost when sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED] without mailman.

   However, sending mail to say [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends the mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] on a remote host. So my MTA doesn't think it can relay to
foo.com..
 
   Anyhow, this is an exim problem not a mailman problem.

   Sorry for wasting everyone's time.
