[Mailman-Users] (re-post) smtp failures, please help

[Ricardo Kleemann]

Thanks for the pointers, Mark.

Well I reconfigured the list so that members are not moderated, just to
test... no difference.

Now I'm actually just simply sending email directly to the -owner address,
and I continue to get this syntax error.

Well, the fact that the mailman log is reporting an error is in itself an
indication that the alias is piping the message to mailman. This is what the
alias is doing:
"|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman owner ricardo1"

so mailman processes the message, and then reports the syntax error.

I just tried sending to another list "test", to test-owner... and to my
surprise, it fails with the same error! :-/   This means to me that all my
lists are failing for the -owner address.

Thanks... but does mailman really insert the -owner address in that
transaction, or does it already lookup who the owner is for the list and
insert that address?

Anyone else have any ideas?
