Hi, I installed smartlist on my Mandrake 8.1 Linux box and created a mailing list. However when I tried to subscribe to the list, I got nothing back. On the server side, the maintainer got an email with the subject of "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender". The following is the whole email: ------------------------------------- Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2001 23:12:50 -0700 (PDT) From: MAILER-DAEMON@bioweircom.com (Mail Delivery System) To: bio93-request@bioweircom.org This is the Postfix program at host www.bioweircom.com. I'm sorry to have to inform you that the message returned below could not be delivered to one or more destinations. For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster> If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the message returned below.

My /etc/aliases contains the following lines: ######################################################################## bio93: "|exec /var/spool/listserv/.bin/flist bio93" bio93-request: "|exec /var/spool/listserv/.bin/flist bio93-request" ######################################################################## Can you tell me what might be wrong and how to fix it? Thanks, Chun-Nuan
