Mailman lists

Hi!
I have a mail server sme with mailman 2.1.5 installed and working with
some lists while others don't want to work!
I make sense of better me,
if I create the list danilo [at] nomeserver works all to the perfection
if I create a list instead danilo.prova [at] nomeserver is created the
list without problems it also arrives to me the mail of created list,
I shape her/it to control panel liking of the list putting an address
of test to make a will the same list; but nothing if I try to send a
mail to the list I receive the following error:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at icar.cnr.it.
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.

<danilo.prova [at] nomeserver>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)

--- Below this line is a copy of the message.

Practically it doesn't work with lists with the point type abc.def @
Have I seen some lists mailman with the point in the name of the list,
How it is possible?
best regards
Danilo

the translation is very garbled.

are you saying that mail to user@ works but when the user-part of the
email address has a period in it (e.g., user.xx@) then you get the
bounce message ?

if so, can you verify that the .qmail-user forward file contains a colon
instead of a corresponding period?

e.g., you should see a .qmail-danilo:prova - not .qmail-danilo.prova

Unfortunately mailman creates me the whole files.qmail-danilo.xy * and
not .qmail-danilo:xy
what can I do? I can manually modify the whole files with vim

Thanks

i'm not familiar with mailman or whatever is creating your .qmail-user
file. if it is indeed mailman, i'd probably file a bug report (if you
cant fix the code yourself).

in the interim, i believe the only real solution is to 'mv
.qmail-user.file .qmail-user\:file' after each new list with a dot in
the local-part is created.

Re: Mailman lists [In reply to]

Thanks Jeremy,
have resolved manually renaming the files!
mv .qmail-danilo.xy .qmail-danilo:xy
mv .qmail-danilo.xy-admin .qmail-danilo:xy-admin
mv .qmail-danilo.xy-bounces .qmail-danilo:xy-bounces
mv .qmail-danilo.xy-confirm .qmail-danilo:xy-confirm
mv .qmail-danilo.xy-join .qmail-danilo:xy-join
mv .qmail-danilo.xy-leave .qmail-danilo:xy-leave
mv .qmail-danilo.xy-owner .qmail-danilo:xy-owner
mv .qmail-danilo.xy-request .qmail-danilo:xy-request
mv .qmail-danilo.xy-subscribe .qmail-danilo:xy-subscribe
mv .qmail-danilo.xy-unsubscribe .qmail-danilo:xy-unsubscribe
;)
Thanks
Danilo
