mailman qmail plesk8.1 - E-Mails won't be delivered ...

[cpteos]

Sending E-Mails to a list won't be delivered by qmail if the listname contains a "didot point" (= ".")

(These Special characters in listnames are working: "-", "_")

Error-Message:
"Hi. This is the qmail-send program at ((Hostname)). 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. e.g. <topic.group@domainname.com>:
This address no longer accepts mail."

I think it's not a mailman restriction, isn't it, but probably a point of qmail and plesk configuring.

Does anyone have an idea how to get this work?

If you just consider this a qmail issu this will happen only in onc case and that is if the mail service for that domain is disabled and I guess that is not in your case.Try rebuilding the mail configuration for all accounts by this command:

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mchk

let me know if this helps.

I had run the job (--without-spam), but there is no better result:

mailman-listnames containing a "." causes the qmail-send delivering-failure.

maybe another idea?!

--
does anyone have a working listname with "." in FC4/Plesk8.1/QMail/Mailman?


--
e.g. listname is equal to first.last@domainname.com

I found this at /var/qmail/mailnames

.qmail-first.last
|/var/qmail/bin/preline /var/qmail/bin/mm_wrapper /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman post first.last

.qmail-default
|bouncesaying This\ address\ no\ longer\ accepts\ mail.

maybe qmail cannot interpret the part of the expression right behind the point and so delivers the qmail-default?

One Step further?

Consulting the /var/log/mailman/post

I see a significant difference between success and error messages:

The success-messages has no request and no bounce in it.

But maybe more important, the message-id in success-case does not contain the listname in opposite to the failure-message-id.
