Write this line in your mm_cfg.py MTA = 'Postfix' SMTPHOST = 'aa.bb.cc.dd' where aa.bb.cc.dd is the IP address you get successful port 25 TELNET. I guess, this may have happened because default SMTPHOST in Defaults.py is 'localhost' and previously your Postfix would have been listening on all int

Re: [Mailman-Users] None of my Admin's are Recevicing "Waiting forModerator Aproval E-mails"

I think your MTA does not know the user-id/name using which it should run the Mailman alias commands. I mean, suppose your Mailman is ocnfigured with uid "mailman" and your MTA is postfix, then postfix should know that it should execute all the mailman related alias commands as user "mailman" -

[Mailman-Users] Bouncing mails to sender?

This will typically happen when you run "mailmanctl" command as a non-mailman user. Make sure that the /etc/rc.d/mailman script runs the "maimanctl stop/start/restart" command as "su -c mailmanctl mailman start/stop/restart" Or add a script to /etc/rc.d/rc.local which runs mailmanctl start comman
