[Mailman-Users] newbie: Who is mailman at domain.com

[onesir mail]

Hi Mark,

Yes.  That solved the problem.  I used cPanel X to create a list 
called mailman in mydomain and I now receive messages sent to 
mailman at mydomain.com.

This is much more useful then having such messages disappear into a 
blackhole.

Thanks for your time and help.

Regards,
