[Mailman-Users] RE: Problem with Mailman

Tue Apr 22 04:54:19 CEST 2003

Actually my message to the list goes ok, i am sending from my email in
the server to mailman, the problem is that mailman can't deliver the
message to email accounts external to my server. They get listed on
logs/bounce.

I am 95% sure that the problem is that localhost is not allowed to relay
on my server, i've been reading all day. My great problem i think is
because i use xinetd (standard on Red Hat) and not tcpserver as
everybody suggests.

Here is part of my maillog after i send a message to a mailman list:

I have put this in my /etc/hosts.allow file:

tcp-env : localhost : setenv RELAYCLIENT

And added localhost to my rcpthosts file

Also restarted xinetd daemon and qmail daemon (yes i have a qmail
daemon, i don't know if that's standard but my control panel Plesk
created one executable qmail file or script at /etc/init.d)

But none of these changes has worked.

I can send email from Pine and Outlook using my server to external
emails, only problem is when Mailman wants to send to external emails.

I am more than 14 hours working on this :(

Regards and sorry for asking so much.

Well, hold on though - are you still getting the same error message
about "isn't in my list of rcpthosts"?  Remember, one problem at a time.
:)

The fix above will only take care of the rcpthosts problem, but will
probably _not_ fix the entire problem.
