Hi, I would appreciate some advice on setting up a mailing list. I would like to create an internal mailing list for my company. I have a machine running Debian GNU/Linux on our intranet.
I have installed the mailman package and everything that it was dependent on, f.ex exim. Mailman seems to be running fine. I can create new lists, and I can access the html user interface. What I can not do is 1) Visit the list archive. (I seems to remember having read somewhere that the archive can not be visited untill the first e-mail has been archived. If this is correct, then that explains that problem, since no e-mails has been archived yet). 2) Subscribe. When I subscribe, mailman reports that the subscription was successfull, however, I am supposed to receive an e-mail with my password to confirm my subscription. I never receive that e-mail. I have played around to see if I could find out what the problem is. I beleive that it has to do with the way I set up mail on the server (which I probably haven't....). I am not able to send any mail to the e-mail addresses related to the mailing lists, but I am able to send e-mails to accounts created on the server. Are individual e-mail accounts required for the individual mailing lists on the server? How do I create/ set-up these accounts? Any ideas or suggestions? I am totally in the dark, as I do not know anything about setting up e-mail accounts, and I haven't been able to find any information in the HOW-TOs. Thanks
