So mailman is all setup and everything, but when I go to send emails to my mailing lists, they don't get through, I don't even see a record that they got anywhere at all. Solutions? (might be an obvious answer, but I can't get it right now)
EDIT: on Ubuntu 10.04 |

What MTA (postfix, exim, sendmail, etc.) are you using? What appears in its logs when you try to mail the lists?
Edit: also, does anything appear in the Mailman logs? (Probably found under /var/log/mailman/) |

Sorry for the delay in responding.
Technical details of permanent failure:
The recipient server did not accept our requests to connect. Learn more at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=7720
[lists.[site].org (1): Connection dropped]
replace [site] with the domain name.
There is a lot of stuff in the log folder.
So I think it's my MX records that are messed up, but I can't figure what it needs to be set to. |

| It appears that Google is having difficulty reaching a mail server at lists.[site].org. This could be a DNS problem, firewall problem, mail server problem, or some other problem. You can check yourself with telnet lists.[site].org 25 - the error you receive may be useful. (If you get a welcome banner instead, typing QUIT should end the session.) Without knowing the specific domain/host information, there's not much we can do to help you track down the specific cause. |
