[Mailman-Users] Newbie Question: Can`t send mails to my list

[Dennis Morgan]

I think you'll find that
list.gforge.geoplp.de
does not exist but

gforge.geoplp.de

does exist and accepts mail.

At any rate I sent a test email to:
 testa at gforge.geoplp.de

and it was not returned.

Hope this helps,

Dennis
