[Mailman-Users] Help for a new install on Linux

[Jon Carnes]

1) use a \ in front of the space, or simply telnet to the server and
delete the offending list (~mailman/lists/private/<list name>)

2) configure your MTA (postfix) to accept mail for: gateway.tildens.org
You probably have it set only to "tildens.org".
