[Mailman-Users] Not talking to Qmail?

[Christopher Calzonetti]

It looks like the problem is indeed with Qmail.  I finally got the 
telnet client installed on that box.  (Don't ask me why it wasn't 
installed initially, but there ya go.)  Telnetting to localhost 25 
allowed me to verify that for whatever reason, mail being listed as 
from localhost or the actual machine name wasn't getting delivered to 
any machine that wasn't itself for some reason.  I'll track this down 
and see if I can't solve it.

Thanks for your help.
