Anyone got ideas for me?
Have you read the documentation that came with Mailman? There are a handful of things that you must do before Mailman will work for you. Most noticeably, you'll need to setup the proper aliases for the Mailman user, and also to allow relaying from localhost (which should be enabled by default, check your /etc/mail/access file). I suggest reviewing the README, INSTALL, FAQ, README.LINUX, and README.SENDMAIL files, if you haven't already. Once the rest of that has been satisfied, then maybe we can move on to troubleshooting your sendmail configuration. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
