Or, better yet, as below, just stick with a different client for now. "mail" is about the worst possible choice for testing. (Funny, too, that it seems to be every beginner's first choice as well!) Also note that "majordomo" is not a complete email address. Use a complete address, localpart@domainpart. > I get this.

You need to use local(8) delivery to run a command, such as a listserver. There are two common ways to do that: 1. List the domain in mydestination 2. List the address in virtual_alias_maps pointing to an address in mydestination Another means of running a command would be with a pipe(8) transport(5). I don't recommend that, but I mention it to be complete. For a listserver, it's likely to be best to use a subdomain for lists and have that in mydestination. I've never configured the Major, but I am familiar with Mailman, and this makes it very easy in Postfix. Note that your problem at this point has *nothing* to do with majordomo. Switching to Mailman would not change anything. > I don=E2=80=99t know if this is any help =E2=80=A6 but here it is. You should be able to tell us why you set those settings and what they mean.

That's what controls how Postfix deals with unqualified localparts when used as email addresses. It was hard to read and way too long, so I didn't go over your "postconf -n" in detail. -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ Offlist GMX mail is seen only if "/dev/rob0" is in the Subject:
