[Mailman-Users] newbie installation question

[Doug Curtis]

Tom,

Did you add the proper lines to your /etc/aliases file?  You should have 
added 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

And then after you have added those lines and saved the file, you should 
run "newaliases".  The list won't work unless you run newaliases after 
adding the lines.

Hope this helps,

Doug
