View Full Version : raq3 mailing list problem

I've got several virtual domains set up on the RaQ3 with hosting and e-mail. I set up a list at my personal domain test@test.com.
When I attempt to send to this address I get a bounce message saying the recipient is unknown. Any ideas?? Does the list name have to also be a user, or an alias to one of the users? What else am I missing?

Thanks,
Domenico

Yo might want to try test@www.domain.com just for kicks but I will say, I haven't used the lists. From what I have read though, seems people like to add majordomo to the server and use it (rahter than use the version that you access by the CP).

test@www.test.com doesn't work either :-(

Hmmmm, test is the name of the mailing list but does the user test has to exist in the user list
??

Actually, I believe the mailing list manager on the RaQ3 *is* MajorDomo.

yes, you are right...

I just did the following;


1. Telnet in as root.

2. Edit the file, sendmail.cf, by typing the following:

vi /etc/sendmail.cf

3. In the text editor, type:

:set nu

4. On line 213, press "I" for insert, add the following line:

O AliasFile=/etc/aliases.majordomo

5. After you save the changes (hit Esc, then type ":wq"), restart the sendmail server with the following command:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail start



I hope this works...

Well, that didn't do the trick either.

Again I get;

Delivery to the following recipients failed.
test@domain.com

:-(

Really stupid,
I create the mailing list test@domain.com but when you send an email to it you get back that it doesn't exist...

Just to make sure:
Are your MX records set properly for the domain you are e-mailing to? (i.e, can you e-mail to it without majordomo?)

test@domain.com does not show up in the userlist test is the mailinglist name wich makes for test@domain.com
(the raq says so on the mailing list setup screen).

The users that are there all work when mail send to them.

First, yes I realize that majordoma is installed already. What I meant was that it was recommended to me to install a fresh majordomo altered the way you like it with better control separate from the one that is on there already.

You will have less problems.

Aside from that, I believe you *do* have to set up a user for it to work. If you didn't, that is probably the problem. Set up a user, billy and try to set up a list off of Billy and tell me if that worked.
