I just wanted to add further to this issue...
I have since restarted sendmail and the bounce backs have stopped.
Now when posting to the list, I have the following issues:
1) From 1 address, when i send a test message to the list, the list
admin gets a notice that a person who is not subscribed tried to post -
even though the email address is subscribed. There is no real error for
this one, just an email with "Non-member submission from" in the subject.
2) From another address who is also subscribed I get a bounce back with
an error that states there is no user on the system. that error is below
with domains and IP's changed....
so
bq-base.domain.com = the domain name the system was installed with.
list.domain.com = the virtual site/domain the mailing list resides on.

So this brings me to wonder - will I:
1) Have to restart sendmail every time a new list is created?
2) Why is the one address seen as a non subscriber? It appears in the
gui and the relevant config files in the file system.
3) Why is the system trying to deliver to some user in the format
488-testlist-list (I assume used internally by majordomo) and not
dealing with it as needed for final delivery?
Any pointers?

hi there, I have a domain setup only for the purpose of a mail list (no
web and regular email).
so I created a site called list.domain.com and created the appropriate
MX record (a rec for the list.domain.com, mx record for list.domain.com
pointing high priority to list.domain.com) to handle that list.domain.com.
I then created a site admin for it and created a mailing list called
"testlist". I then added 2 subscribers VIA the web interface. One was
internal (the listadmin) and one external.
For the domains email settings - the only thing to note is that there is
no alias (as this is not providing the main email service).
The actual mailing list settings are:
Posting Policy: Only subscribers can post messages
Subscription Policy: Confirm email address
max Message Length: 500 kb
Reply Policy: reply to list
So now from the external address (that is subscribed), I send an email
to: testlist (at mark) list.domain.com
I then get a bounce back with the following error:
Your message could not be delivered.
The recipient's computer rejected your e-mail.
Please verify the recipient's e-mail address and resend.
Recipient: <testlist (at mark) list.domain.com>
Reason: 5.7.1 <testlist (at mark) list.domain.com>... Relaying denied. Proper authentication required.
Now obviously I must be missing something...
ideas?
