Hi all
I've been setting up my new exim installation trying to get mailman
running with it. When I try to send a message to the mailman address,
I get a bounce:
-------------------------
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
mailman@???
local delivery failed
-------------------------
I thought this was a problem with the aliases. I can get mail on that
machine. I've sent several test messages to the machine to and from a
"real" user. Those worked fine which pointed me to the aliases as my
next step.
I looked at my configuration file and noted the line about removing the
comment (#) on the line defining the user. Here's the section of the
configuration:
system_aliases:
driver = redirect
allow_fail
allow_defer
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
user = mailman
group = mailman
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
The user and group both exist. I run mailman under the user and group
mailman. The installation works fine other than this little problem.
