I really tried a lot until now and I have read README.QMAIL numerous times. I agree that everything looks like an alias problem, but if I want to solve this ever, I have to start investigating.
I ran the script mentioned in the README.QMAIL file. To clarify where should those aliases be created? In "/path/to/mailman" or in "/path/to/vpopmail/domains" ;-) Also isn't there a way to handle all this without aliases. The tutorials I read didn't work with aliases, but added "|/usr/bin/python /var/mailman/qmail-to-mailman.py" to .qmail-default. This .qmail-default is supposed to reside in the mailman folder, but I also tried to put this in the apropriate vpopmail folder. I've added the lists.domain.tld, using vqadmin. My problem might be that I don't know for sure how all this works internally. That's what I believe and please correct me as this might lead me the right direction... 1. I am sending a mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 2. Qmail/vpopmail know the domain "lists.domain.tld" and take care of it 3. The user "example" is not known at "lists.domain.tld" so see what's in .qmail-default 4. From there the file qmail-to-mailman.py is called using python 5. Mailman should handle everything from there ...but, that's not how it works. Could this also be a rights problem? In one tutorial I read to compile mailman with "--with-mail-gid=mailman", in the oter I read to compile it with "--with-mail-gid=vchkpw" (the group used by qmail/vpopmail). What is the correct way and how does this influence the process. Sorry, I know a lot of questions and I would like to say thank you in advance for any support given :-) Best regards, Alex -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Brad Knowles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Sonntag, 21.

This sounds like a problem with the aliases definitions on the MTA. Personally, I had never heard of either of the URLs you mentioned. With regards to getting Mailman to work with qmail, the best reference I know of is found within the Mailman tarball, in the README.QMAIL file. -- Brad Knowles, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.
