The question is: Mailman generates alias_maps for delivering it's list mail to appropriate pipe commands and can if necessary generate virtual_alias_maps to map 'l...@example.com' to the local address 'list' which is in alias_maps. How do I configure Postfix to accept and deliver this Mailman list mail as it is currently doing via alias_maps and at the same time, relay mail for other (non-mailman) example.com addresses to an external MX? -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Hmm. GoDaddy is the main one. Another is 1&1. I'll look into it there though, and thanks so much. Best, -Tyler On Wed, May 5, 2010 at 6:58 PM, Mark Sapiro wrote: > Ty Nelson wrote > > > >Perfect!

Ideally you would arrange for the MTA to just relay the non-list mail to the hosting company's MX without altering the envelope recipient. It is likely that the host's MX won't know how to deliver the mail if you alter the envelope recipient. How you do this depends on your MTA. What is it? We may be able to help if we know that, but really it's a question for a list devoted to your MTA. Otherwise, you could just alias u...@your.domain to u...@host.mx.domain, but the host's MX probably won't know how to deliver that. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

Re: [Mailman-Users] Mx Records and Mailmans use of a domain
Perfect! Thanks for letting me know those two options. I think my last question is how can I teach my MTA to relay non-Mailman-list mail to the hosting company's server? Is that something that is simple or should I contact the hosting company to inquire about that?

I assume the Mailman server is not the same as the hosting company's mail server. In that case, you have two choices. You can leave your domain with no MX and only an A record (or an MX that points to the domain) and teach your MTA to relay non-Mailman-list mail to the hosting company's server, or you can set your domain's MX to point to the hosting company server and teach it to relay all Mailman list mail to your server. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
