It looks like qmail (or whatever is calling the Mailman aliases) is

is to change qmail's Group ID to 102.

OK, I found out that my problem is not a mail loop, but that when sending
out digests, somehow sendmail fails, and cause Mailman to try to resend the
digest forever. Mailman is 2.0.9, does anyone know how to get the version
of sendmail?
Here's the excerpt from Mailman's error log:
Nov 08 13:20:
On further review ,
I looked into smtp logs and this the error I got

I can telnet to 127.0.0.1 25 just fine.

Michael,
It sounds like you are having the same trouble I am. My first fix, for the 'Test'
list was to explicitly put in RELAY lines in the access file for the domains of all my
subscribers to try and eliminate the relay problem. This worked on the test list, and
since my subscribers are from
The reply mailman sends is via email, that's why I believe that sendmail is OK. It
goes out to all of my subscribers, and that's why they are asking me what's up — they
get the confirmation, they can email in and it is posted to the archives, but nothing
comes back to the list members.

Is it a correct statement that if you have nested lists, the sub-lists
MUST be open-posting to allow the umbrella list to post to it?
Say I have a list called dave-test which includes both user addresses and
names of one or more sublists. I thought I'd simply be able to add under

Forget what I originally said. below. That AddMember function is not called
during execution of sync_members.
Indeed, it appears that there is no check in sync_members (or indeed
add_members) to prevent a list being subscribed to itself. This is so in MM
2.0.13. and also in 2.1b4.
