[cobalt-users] Mailman/Sendmail trouble

["Paul" <paulbentz@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Mailman (www.list.org) on a RaQ4.

The installation went fine.

However, when I try to set up my first list-"test," Sendmail on the RaQ
doesn't seem to want to cooperate.
When you set up a list in Mailman, it outputs a few lines which you should
put in /etc/aliases (/etc/mail/aliases on the RaQ) for Sendmail. They look
something like this:
test:                    "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post test"
test-admin:              "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner test"
test-request:            "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd test"
test-owner:              test-admin

So, you're supposed to copy those into /etc/mail/aliases and run the command
"newaliases" from root. Done. However, I got this in Mailman's log:

Oct 06 19:15:32 2001 (600) All recipients refused: (553, '5.3.0
<test-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>... No such user here',
'test-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx')

I have tried completely deleting the list "test" and re-creating it, and
doing a full reboot of the server (several times)
Then, I had the idea: Why not make an alias file for Mailman? Majordomo has
its own alias file, found at /etc/mail/aliases.majordomo. Why not do the
same for Mailman?
So, I deleted the entries I put in /etc/mail/aliases, created the file (as
root) /etc/mail/aliases.mailman, and put a line in sendmail.cf:

O AliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases.mailman

I ran "newaliases" and it processed aliases.mailman fine.
However, Sendmail STILL DOES NOT want to "link" with Mailman! I get the same
errors as before, even after a full reboot!!

Help please!
Thanks,
Paul
