Hi,

I'm using postfix with mailman and I can't post mail to the mailing list.
I can subscribe to a list, both I and the owner of the mailing list get
an email notifications. But I do not receive email when
posting to any of the mailing list that I created.

I've checked the duplication email option on the admin interface are
unchecked. Error message in /var/log/maillog:

I used to were able to post to list, but after I changed the
DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST to not to be the same as my DEFAULT_URL_HOST, it
stopped working.
The entry in my /usr/local/mailman/Mailman is:

MTA = 'Postfix'

SMTPHOST = 'localhost'
SMTPPORT = 25
POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postalias'
POSTFIX_MAP_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postmap'

DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'nbirn.net'
DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'portal.nbirn.net'

add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

    Do you receive other people's posts? Do others receive yours?

    This is not what controls this. The option that controls receiving your
    own posts is "not metoo".

    I don't see an error. I see a message sent to a spam filter and removed
    from the queue and then a message relayed to bigiron.ucsd.edu and then
    removed from the queue

    I used to were able to post to list, but after I changed the
    DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST to not to be the same as my DEFAULT_URL_HOST, it
    stopped working.
    If you didn't run fix_url on the list, changing DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST
    should do nothing. If you did run fix_url or otherwise change the
    list's host_name attribute, this will affect the domain of the
    envelope sender of posts which may affect acceptance by the MTA, but I
    don't see this in the log.

    The entry in my /usr/local/mailman/Mailman is:

    I assume you mean /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py

    MTA = 'Postfix'

    SMTPHOST = 'localhost'
    SMTPPORT = 25
    POSTFIX_ALIAS_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postalias'
    POSTFIX_MAP_CMD = '/usr/sbin/postmap'

    DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST = 'nbirn.net'
    DEFAULT_URL_HOST = 'portal.nbirn.net'

    add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

    Seems OK.
