My problem now is that when I send mail to the mailing list subscribers@my.domain.name it is not working. Any suggestions.

Below are the steps I have followed

step1 executed getusers.pl

Uing the perl script I created a userlist and sample result is below.

bwalyal jay

step2 included line in aliases. below is part of file

************ these indicate subscribers name for all users and point to my userlist

nobody: root # "bin" used to be in /etc/passwd bin: root # "abuse" is often used to fight against spam email abuse: postmaster subscribers: /root/userlist ******* # Further well-known aliases for dns/news/ftp/mail/fax/web/gnats.

Step 3 I rebuilt my aliases but to no avail.

The subscribers alias in the /etc/aliases file is wrong - it should be: subscribers: :include:/root/userlist not: subscribers: /root/userlist That should fix it (don't forget to rebuild aliases), Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
