I am attempting to set up a mailing list. When I subscribe on my page using my own email address, I get the following Mailer-Daemon error.[nbsp][nbsp]What could I be missing here, since the error is regarding the person subscribing.

"Hi. This is the qmail-send program at astro.futurequest.net.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out."

The error message email came to webmaster@mydomain.com and I did not use that email address for anything.[nbsp][nbsp]I set it up to use administrator@mydomain.com[nbsp][nbsp]

<subscriber-subscribe-timbuk2=timbuk2001.com@mlm.ourcrazyworld.com>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)

This may not be the problem, but I do not understand this line in the email...
.

<subscriber-subscribe-tim=timbuk2001.com@mlm.ourcrazyworld.com>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)

&quot;subscriber&quot; is the name of my list, tim=timbuk2001.com@mlm.ourcrazyworld.com>:[nbsp][nbsp] what does this mean? This is telling me that there is no such mail box for timbuk2001.com... which I know there is, but why is it tacking the @mlm.ourcrazyworld.com on the end?[nbsp][nbsp]Does that mean that my MLM account is not set up correctly or at all?

What are the second and third row of &quot;*&quot; astericks for?
ezmlm-make ~/*** ~/.qmail-*** *** mlm.yourdomain.com {Enter}

Would this then be a correct telnet entry?
ezmlm-make ~subscriber ~/.qmail-*** *** mlm.ourcrazyworld.com

Should I have added the (x) to xourcrazyworld.com?
Should I have put something in the .qmail-??? ??? mlm.domain?

this is giving me a headache![nbsp][nbsp]I would prefer to see a little more explicit instructions here.[nbsp][nbsp];-(
Thanks

Did you use the CNC to create this list, or did you use the command line method?

I spent hours doing it using the command line method with no success... didn't realize you could do it thru CNC until I emailed support.[nbsp][nbsp]Learned the hard way, thanks.

Tim,

What was the final fix?[nbsp][nbsp]I am running into the same thing and I used the cnc to start the list?

Well,[nbsp][nbsp]I went ahead and deleted everything and tried to start from scratch.[nbsp][nbsp]Here is the message that I get when attempting to mail to the list.

--------<Newsletter@mlm.associatecash.com>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)

--- Below this line is a copy of the message.

Return-Path: <webmaster@associatecash.com>
Received: (qmail 14514 invoked by uid 42729); 28 Mar 2000 20:06:26 -0000

Do I have to create pop account for Newsletter@mlm.associatecash.com[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp]?

If not I don't know how to work it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Make the list name all lowercase. ezMLM will throw a fit if you use capitol letters in the list name. I have been meaning to fix the CNC to just automatically force lowercase to avoid the situation all together, and I just now fixed it for good (the changes will go into place sometime later today or in the morning).

Hope this helps.

Well, the only fix was I deleted everything and used the CNC and it was a cinch to set up.[nbsp][nbsp]What exactley is happening?
