Hello,
I am trying to get postfix working with mailman and I just can’t seem to get
it to work.
Essentially what I want is this:
My mailing domain is students.wesleyseminary.edu.
I want messages going to allstude...@students.wesleyseminary.edu to go to a
mailman managed distribution list that sends to the other accounts on the
system.
Any help on this? Thanks.
Here is what I have so far:
