qmail, aliases, forwarding and mn-linux.org



Well, I am going to have to announce this earlier then I expected because I
need help getting it to work. :-)

Real Time went out and reg'd mn-linux.org, to give the LUG a neutral domain
name, plus to give a domain name with linux in it.

I have setup a new machine with qmail and ezmlm for our mailing list and the
plan was to migrate the subsribers, digests, archives and adminstrators over
to the mn-linux box BUT still keep the old list addresses alive.

So, tclug-list@mn-linux.org and tclug-list@listserv.real-time.com would BOTH
work.

I thought I could just put a forward into the
tclug-list@listserv.real-time.com machine to redirect all email to
tclug-list@mn-linux.org, that would take care of all the mail routing
problems. But when I do forward using the .qmail files, I get the following
message returned to me from the mn-linux.org server:

<snip>

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.mn-linux.org.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following 
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
 
<tclug-list@mn-linux.org>:
ezmlm-reject: fatal: List address must be in To: or Cc: (#5.7.0)

[snip]

It looks like ezmlm does not like messages forwarded to because the To:
address has tclug-list@listserv.real-time.com and not the list name it is
looking for (tclug-list@mn-linux.org).

Anyway to make ezmlm answer for both addresses?

Is there another way/better way to setup qmail/ezmlm?
