OK I was experience the black hole effect with postings to the list;
now I'm getting bounces.  /etc/aliases looks like this

mailman: me at other.f.q.d.n
mailman-owner: mailman
## listname mailing list
## created: 2001-11-21 mailman
listname:
"|/Users/mailman/Documents/mailman/bin/mail/wrapper post listname"
listname-admin:
"|/Users/mailman/Documents/mailman/bin/mail/wrapper mailowner listname"
listname-request:
"|/Users/mailman/Documents/mailman/bin/mail/wrapper mailcmd listname"
listname-owner:            listname-admin

and I did the newaliases.

When I try to send to listname at this.f.q.d.n it bounces with
<<< 550 5.1.1 <listname at this.f.q.d.n>... User unknown
550 <listname at this.f.q.d.n>... User unknown
hmmmmm, as does
<<< 550 5.1.1 <listname-request at this.f.q.d.n>... User unknown
550 <listname-request at this.f.q.d.n>... User unknown

Restarting the system doesn't help.

/Users/mailman/Documents/mailman/bin/mail/wrapper is a global read+executable.

sendmail lets me send out from that system, and I can also send messages
to my username on it.  Just for the heck of it, I rmlisted it, and then
did a newlist, cut & pasted the stuff for the /etc/aliases and did
the newaliases thing... but no change.

What am I missing?

Mac OS X 10.1.1
sendmail 8.10.2-26.2
mailman 2.0.7
Apache 1.3.22
