[TriLUG] MailMan

[Jeff Baldwin]

Jeremy - Thanks for the quick reply :-)

Here is my setup...

I am running several virtual hosts on my server.
My MTA is PostFix.

/etc/postfix/aliases

## engarde mailing list
## created: 24-Aug-2001 baldwinj
jeff:                 "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post jeff"
jeff-admin:           "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner jeff"
jeff-request:         "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd jeff"
jeff-owner:            jeff-admin

/etc/postfix/virtual

mill92.cep.unc.edu      VIRTUALDOMAIN

jeff at mill92.cep.unc.edu               list-jeff-mill92.cep.unc.edu
jeff-admin2 at mill92.cep.unc.edu        list-jeff-mill92.cep.unc.edu
jeff-request2 at mill92.cep.unc.edu      list-jeff-mill92.cep.unc.edu
jeff-owner at mill92.cep.unc.edu         list-jeff-mill92.cep.unc.edu

** This is what I am seeing in /home/mailman/logs/subscribe

[root at mill96 logs]# cat /home/mailman/logs/subscribe
Aug 24 16:13:02 2001 (24130) jeff: pending jeff_baldwin at unc.edu  152.2.72.95

Any ideas???


Thanks  Again

Jeff
