[Mailman-Users] unknown mailer error/list not found

[John Harrold]

i'm having trouble with a mailing list. the command 'list_lists' shows the
list. my aliases file has the following:

list-name                 "|/path/mailman/mail/mailman post list-name"

i can view, configure, subscribe to mailing lists through the web interface.

when i send an email to list-name at computer i get the following delivery
failure:
