Hi,

Im using using mailman integrated with another application. When i create 
a list i get a mail from "mailman-owner at localdomain.com2" saying that 
mailing list has been created and the list address..and in the last part 
of the mail it says "Please address all questions to
mailman-owner at localdomain2.com".

Now what i did was i sent a mail to "mailmain-owner at localdomain2.com", but 
the mail bounces with the following content:
--->

Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2003 14:37:36 +0530 From: Mail Delivery System 
<Mailer-Daemon at localdomain2.com> To: root at localdomain2.com Subject: Mail 
delivery failed: returning message to sender

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim).

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its 
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  mailman-owner at localdomain2.com
    unknown local-part "mailman-owner" in domain "localdomain2.com"

------ This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. ------


---->

Can anyone tell me how to enable this account or where to configure, so 
that the mail sent to "mailman-owner at localdomain2.com" is delieverd...??

The following are the configuration settings in the 
mailman/Mailman/Default.py:
-----------------------------------------------------

# Don't change MAILMAN_URL, unless you want to point it at the list.org
# mirror.
MAILMAN_URL = 'http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman.html'
#MAILMAN_URL = 'http://www.list.org/'

# Site-specific settings
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME   = 'linuxroute.dev.sf.net'
# DEFAULT_URL must end in a slash!
DEFAULT_URL         = 'http://linuxroute.dev.sf.net/mailman/'
# PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL and PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL should not end in slashes!
PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL  = '/pipermail'
PRIVATE_ARCHIVE_URL = '/mailman/private'

HOME_PAGE         = 'index.html'
MAILMAN_OWNER     = 'mailman-owner@%s' % DEFAULT_HOST_NAME


The config details in the mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py are:
--------------------------------------------------------

# Put YOUR site-specific settings below this line.
DEFAULT_HOST_NAME   = 'localdomain2.com'
DEFAULT_URL         = 'https://localdomain2.com/mailman/'
PUBLIC_ARCHIVE_URL  = '/mailman/archives'
USE_CRYPT           = 0
MAILMAN_OWNER       = 'root at localdomain2.com'


Before posting this question i tried adding aliase to /etc/aliases like 
this:
mailman-owner: root

after doing this i was able to send mail to 
"mailman-owner at localdomain2.com" from the same machine, but this approach 
fails when i try to send mail to the same id from a different machine.

Can anyone help.

Thanks in advance.
Schalla
