[Mailman-Users] sendmail error - User unknown

[Jon Carnes]

When you created the newlist the command printed out some aliases that
needed to be added to /etc/aliases.  Did you in fact add those aliases
to that file?  If so, did you then run "newaliases" so that sendmail was
made aware of the changes?
