[Mailman-Users] _Most_ mail not delivering .... (Resolved)

Sat Jul 6 17:00:01 CEST 2002

Okay, believe it or not it was my fault, but I noticed a few other posts in the 
archives that had gone unanswered with similiar descriptions, so here's what 
the deal was in my case:

I didn't have DNS properly setup for mail for my domain.  My MX records were 
not pointing to my main server.  So, the confirmation e-mails, which 
_originate_ from that machine, could go out, but mails that I would attempt to 
send to the list would have to route to the server where the list resides.  
This wasn't happening, hence users getting the "Welcome" e-mails but not list 
posts.

In my case, there was an extra "feature" that made it more confusing:  my free 
DNS provider was providing a catchall mail feature so that _all_ mail sent to 
my domain was sent to my defult address.  So I _thought_ one address was 
properly routing posts, but actually anything sent to the list 
(listname at domainname.org) was just being forwarded to my account without even 
hitting my server and even less the Mailman software.

So, a change in MX records, a propagation wait, and all is well now.

Thanks,

Curt.
