That's *exactly* the point of aliases and virtual aliases, when you don't have (or perhaps don't want) a local user to receive the mail at the apparent domain. So for example it definitely helps you to get a handle on the mail to "weblate" problem. You use a virtual alias to direct that mail to either a user on "list" such as root, or to a file, or even (when you are confident in Mailman) to a mailing list. Then you can see what the mail is. And you should definitely have such a alias, since there's no recipient at weblate. Or perhaps you would use a transport map to catch all mail to weblate. > Yes, I wonder why this host is trying to connect to those machines. > I know that those machines send their logs to a list, that's about > it. In particular with the mail to "weblate", it's almost certainly some DSN about mail that "weblate" is sending to Mailman. If you catch the recipient address at "weblate" with a virtual alias, you can send that to root or to a file (possibly via a local alias, I don't think virtual aliases can go to files or pipes). -- GNU Mailman consultant (installation, migration, customization) Sirius Open Source https://www.siriusopensource.com/ Software systems consulting in Europe, North America, and Japan _______________________________________________ Mailman-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://lists.mailman3.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.mailman3.org/ Archived at: https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/PLRWI4JMMFYB54GXEMG37YX2W7KLOAUJ/ This message sent to [email protected]
