No mail to any Mailman addresses is "stored" in the conventional sense. For an MTA that uses aliases, each list has a set of aliases like list: "|/path/to/mailman/mail/mailman post list" list-admin: "|/path/to/mailman/mail/mailman admin list" list-bounces: "|/path/to/mailman/mail/mailman bounces list" list-confirm: "|/path/to/mailman/mail/mailman confirm list" list-join: "|/path/to/mailman/mail/mailman join list" list-leave: "|/path/to/mailman/mail/mailman leave list" list-owner: "|/path/to/mailman/mail/mailman owner list" list-request: "|/path/to/mailman/mail/mailman request list" list-subscribe: "|/path/to/mailman/mail/mailman subscribe list" list-unsubscribe: "|/path/to/mailman/mail/mailman unsubscribe list" Which causes the mail to be piped to the mail/mailman wrapper and processed by the appropriate (post, admin, bounces, etc.) script. The script in turn queues the message for further processing. For example, posts and -owner mail is queued in Mailman's in/ queue for processing by IncomingRunner; -admin and -bounces mail is queued in Mailman's bounces/ queue for processing by BounceRunner, and -join, -leave, -subscribe, -unsubscribe, -confirm and -request mail is queued in Mailman's commands/ queue for processing by CommandRunner. Some MTAs do this programmatically instead of with aliases, but the result is the same. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
