OK...I have read all the FAQ's, I've been to all the sites... and still I
can't solve this problem.
I post to this list as a last resort mechanism...after this, it's off to the
funny farm for me!

Background info: Running Majordomo 1.94.4 on LINUX (RedHat 5.2), perl
5.005_03

I have setup a test list, I can list it, subscribe to it, unsibscribe to it,
etc...

But when I try to send a message to it, I get the following error message...

The original message was received at Tue, 21 Sep 1999 10:03:37 +1000 (EST)
from pc-214-91.celts.monash.edu.au [130.194.214.91]

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<test@decmedia2.dec.monash.edu.au>

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to decmedia2.dec.monash.edu.au.:
>>> RCPT To:<test@decmedia2.dec.monash.edu.au>
<<< 550 <test@decmedia2.dec.monash.edu.au>... User unknown
550 <test@decmedia2.dec.monash.edu.au>... User unknown

Now, I can send mail to majordomo@decmedia2.dec.monash.edu.au, but not to
test@decmedia2.dec.monash.edu.au

Here is the majordomo.aliases file...

test: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper resend -l test test-list"
test-list: :include:/var/lib/majordomo/lists/test
owner-test: andrewn,
test-owner: andrewn
test-request: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper request-answer test"
test-approval: andrewn

These aliases have been compiled with 'newaliases'

Now, when I send mail from the machine that majordomo is hosted from
(decmedia2.dec.monash.edu.au) as user (say andrewn - who is subscribed to
the list, this works. (ie. mail to test@decmedia2.dec.monash.edu.au)
But, when I send mail to test@decmedia2.dec.monash.edu.au from my machine, I
get the error message that I listed above.

I have even added all of my email addresses to the test list for
completeness, but still no joy!

I have checked permissions, checked wrappers permissions and test,
re-installed majrodomo 2 times, searched all the FAQ's, watched the postings
to this for 5 days, and am now officailly at my wits end.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards
