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.

If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the message returned below.

I checked the log for postfix and found out the following related lines: ---------------------------------- Oct 24 08:19:51 chench1 postfix/smtpd[22159]: connect from chench3.bioweircom.com[192.168.1.3] Oct 24 08:19:51 chench1 postfix/smtpd[22159]: 5ED151E565: client=chench3.bioweircom.com[192.168.1.3] Oct 24 08:19:51 chench1 postfix/cleanup[22160]: 5ED151E565: message-id=3BD6D95D.AE6DF77F@sun.com Oct 24 08:19:51 chench1 postfix/qmgr[22157]: 5ED151E565: from=chunnuan.chen@sun.com, size=613, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 24 08:19:51 chench1 postfix/smtpd[22159]: disconnect from chench3.bioweircom.com[192.168.1.3] Oct 24 08:19:51 chench1 procmail[22164]: Error while writing to "log" Oct 24 08:19:51 chench1 postfix/pickup[22156]: BFD481E5A0: uid=417 from=bio93-request@bioweircom.org Oct 24 08:19:51 chench1 postfix/cleanup[22160]: BFD481E5A0: message-id=20011024151951.BFD481E5A0@www.bioweircom.com Oct 24 08:19:51 chench1 postfix/local[22162]: 5ED151E565: to=bio93-request@bioweircom.org, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent ("|exec /var/spool/listserv/.bin/flist bio93-request") Oct 24 08:19:51 chench1 postfix/cleanup[22160]: BFD481E5A0: to=<unknown>, relay=cleanup, delay=0, status=bounced (Message processing aborted: No recipients specified) Oct 24 08:19:51 chench1 postfix/cleanup[22194]: D88D21E565: message-id=20011024151951.D88D21E565@www.bioweircom.com Oct 24 08:19:51 chench1 postfix/qmgr[22157]: D88D21E565: from=<>, size=2451, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 24 08:19:51 chench1 procmail[22196]: Error while writing to "log" Oct 24 08:19:52 chench1 postfix/pickup[22156]: 1EE9E1E5A0: uid=417 from=<postmaster> Oct 24 08:19:52 chench1 postfix/cleanup[22160]: 1EE9E1E5A0: message-id=20011024151951.D88D21E565@www.bioweircom.com Oct 24 08:19:52 chench1 postfix/qmgr[22157]: 1EE9E1E5A0: from=postmaster@bioweircom.com, size=2790, nrcpt=1 (queue active)Oct 24 08:19:52 chench1 postfix/local[22162]: D88D21E565: to=bio93-request@bioweircom.org, relay=local, delay=1, status=sent ("|exec /var/spool/listserv/.bin/flist bio93-request") Oct 24 08:19:52 chench1 procmail[22223]: Attempt to fake stamp by "jwang" Oct 24 08:19:52 chench1 postfix/local[22162]: 1EE9E1E5A0: to=jwang@bioweircom.org, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent ("|/usr/bin/procmail -o -a $DOMAIN -d $LOGNAME") ---------------------------------------
It seems to me the postfix or the procmail didn't pass on the subscriber's email address to the smartlist. 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
