I have posted this message before, and some helpful folks responded off
list with some suggestions.


Here is my problem.

Installed Mailman with no problem, created a test list called mailman.

My current configuration is.

Red Hat Linux 7.2.
Python v2.1
Mailman v2.12

All services are working and I can verify all mailman permissions, and
email delivery is working.


I can bulk add users with no problems.
But if I go to my test lists's info page and try to subscribe.


http://mydomain.com/mailman/subscribe/mailman

Added my myaccount at yahoo.com to test the subscription pages, no problem
so far.

Checking my email, no confirmation email arrived.

I have set subscriptions to be confirmed first.


I was told to look at README.SENMAIL in the distribution.

I looked there, and indeed there was a step I missed.

I followed the documentation as suggested.
I created the symbolic link

cd /etc/smrsh
ln -s /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman mailman

So far no problem the confirmation messages still don't arrive.

Here is what I see in  /var/log/maillog


Jul 14 19:44:39 mydomain sendmail[2764]: h6ENidN02764:

It seems that mailman insists on sending email to the email address and
adds -owner next to the email from, why is this happening?
Did I make a mistake when install mailman?
I followed the documentation step by step.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.
