I'm having trouble with Mailman using and Qmail and xinetd (Redhat 7.1). I 
think that qmail is working properly, I can telnet to port 25 and send mail 
successfully off my machine, but if I mail to my list, nothing seems to 
happen. I had this list setup and working before I installed RH7.1 (was 
Mandrake) and re-installed qmail and mailman. And it's not *totally* 
broken. But here's what I do

* Mail to the list machine. Qmail reports

I think what it's doing here is emailing to the list, which may be sending 
a message to the admin. The admin userid is set to be an alias to 
deckm at cleansoft.com, but I don't ever receive the message. When I look in 
/home/mailman/logs/bounce, it says

Nov 09 19:13:02 2001 (9020) Ebcwd-list: CDeck at faegre.com - 0 more allowed 
over 166798 secs

one such message for 33 list members. Now, I also created a little test 
list with two members. One of the members is deckm at cleansoft.com, the other 
is deckm at cleansoft.net which is a qmail alias to deckm at cleansoft.com. The 
message to deckm at cleansoft.net got out and I received it, but the other did 
not.

I did a search on Google and also through my email logged archives of this 
list and can't find an *answered* post on this subject though there are 
several unanswered.

Where should I look, and what should I do?
