I have a question concerning Mailman apps that was installed following the Debian 7.0 Perfect Server tutorial. Information about my server: Debian 7.0 with Dotdeb, installed based on steps in “Perfect Server” howtoforge.com The server include postfix, Dovecot, nginx, Mailman ISPConfig upgraded to version 3.0.5.4p1 My problem: I sent email to a mailing list address, say [email protected], but the server give this error message: 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table What I did to prepare the mailing list: - Installed Mailman - ISPConfig3: Email > Domain > Add new Domain (create mydomain.org for email domain) - ISPConfig3: Sites > click mydomain.org: Add nginx Directives at the Options tab to allow web-access to mailman - Created first mailing list called “mailman”, and at the same time created mailman admin password - ISPConfig3: Email > Mailing List > Add new record (create listname mailing list) - Open web http://mydomain.org/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/listname, login, add Membership Could anybody explain what should I do to fix this problem? Regards, Muhamad ps. I have checked the contents of the files in /var/lib/mailman/data directory: aliases contains “STANZA” for mailman (mailman-admin, mailman-bounces, etc.) and for listname transport-mailman contains STANZA for listname ([email protected] local, etc.) virtual-mailman contains STANZA for listname. Some lines in the file: [email protected] listname [email protected] listname-admin [email protected] listname-bounces [email protected] listname-confirm [email protected] listname-join [email protected] listname-leave [email protected] listname-owner [email protected] listname-request [email protected] listname-subscribe [email protected] listname-unsubscribe
