[Mailman-Users] problem with mailman user account creation confirmation
I have installed mailman on redhat linux 7.2 and am using mailman with default configurations. When a user visits the web site (page) of the created mailing list and registers his email address, he is supposed to get an email for confirmation. This does not happen. Further, if I (mailing list admin) register a user (his email address) through the admin interface of mailman and then the user tries to send an email to the list, the mail is bounced stating that the user does not exist. Here the user is the name of the mailing list. Help would be appreciated. Thanks and regards, Abid Ghufran. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

This does not happen. It sounds like Mailman is having trouble sending to your local mail server. (Or if you are using Mailman 2.1 you forgot to start it. Or for Mailman 2.0 you forgot to add the required crontab entries.) Further, if I (mailing list admin) register a user (his email address) through the admin interface of mailman and then the user tries to send an email to the list, the mail is bounced stating that the user does not exist. Here the user is the name of the mailing list. Your mail server is not recognizing your mailing list alias(es). (Or if you are using one of the mail server configurations that automatically detects list presence and routes mail directly... there is a setup problem there.) You should start by searching the Mailman FAQ for hints on how to get more information so you can solve these problems. In particular http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py? req=showfile=faq03.014.htp is probably a good starting point. -- Jim Tittsler http://www.OnJapan.net/ GPG: 0x01159DB6 Python Starship http://Starship.Python.net/crew/jwt/ Mailman IRC irc://irc.freenode.net/#mailman -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
