[Mailman-Users] Mailman Problem

[Jon Carnes]

You have an "I" (that's a capital letter i) in the aliases file where a "|"
(that's the character for pipe) should be.

The actual line in your /etc/aliases file should read:
  testlist: "|/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post testlist"

The pipe character "|" tells sendmail to transfer control to a external
program and send the email as data to that program.

If you have made an error this grave, you might want to look at hiring
someone or bringing in a friend with a little more experience to help you
out.

  Hi!

  I did not encount an error and this is no error report.
  I have a following problem, can you help me, or can you tell me, how can
help me?

  I have a list created. Listname:  testlist
  If I send a mail to 'testlist-request at pcc101.mos.siemens.at' or to
'testlist at pcc101.mos.siemens.at' with subject "help" or with body content
"confirm xxxxxx"
  I always get the following anser:

     ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
  "I/home/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd testlist"
      (expanded from: <testlist-request at pcc101.mos.siemens.at>)

     ----- Transcript of session follows -----

  or the following error:

  ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
  "I/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post testlist"
  (expanded from: <testlist at pcc101.mos.siemens.at>)

  What should I do, what is wrong?
  Thank you for your help.
  Best Regards
