Are you hosting or hosted by another domain?  Is your majordomo
list alias information also in the /etc/postfix/virtual file?
Did you execute postalias and restart postfix after making any
changes to your configuration files?

There is some good information regarding majordomo in the FAQ
at www.postfix.com, and in the archives at www.greatcircle.com.

I really don't know much about postfix other than what I have
seen come through this list, but something you can try if you
want to make sure your aliases are working, is to set an alias
that expands directly to your address, another that :include:'s
a file containing only your address, and finally one that pipes
to a script or other executable that sends your address a message.
If all that is working, majordomo should also work.

Hi, all. I am a newbie with majordomo and postfix. I tried to set up open-exchange to have majordomo as the mailing list manager. Howerver, I kept getting this error message when tried to test the test list.

I used newaliases -oAhash:/etc/mail/aliases.majordomo to update the alias file.

If I sent mail to test @
myhost .
com, I would get Undelivered Mail
Returned to Sender and the error message in the body of the email:

"I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be
be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.

For further assistance, please send mail to <postmaster>

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

Please help and show me what is wrong with this.

Thank you in advance,
