mailing list:mails going to error folder
Hi,
I am new to James and am impressed with how easy it was to setup everything and get going.
I am evaluating it to use in our application. One of our requirements is: mailing list.
I am able to create and subscribe to it. But to test the distribution, when I send mails to
the mailing list, all the mails seem to be going to the error folder. I have searched the
mailing lists and came across one person who had this issue but there are no replies.
Thanks in advance and sorry if it is too trivial.
I followed the instruction is the James doc and news groups:
1) added the following in config.xml , in the root processor block
<mailet match="CommandForListserv=james@localhost"
class="AvalonListservManager">
<repositoryName>list-james</repositoryName>
</mailet>
<mailet match="RecipientIs=james@localhost" class="AvalonListserv">
<membersonly> false </membersonly>
<attachmentsallowed> true </attachmentsallowed>
<replytolist> true </replytolist>
<repositoryName>list-james</repositoryName>
<subjectprefix>JamesList</subjectprefix>
</mailet>
2) added a repository name (for filesystem) in the users-store block
<repository name="list-james"
class="org.apache.james.userrepository.UsersFileRepository">
<destination URL="file://var/lists/list-james/"/>
</repository> I am able to subscribe to the list(3 users like red@localhost, blue@localhost, green@localhost) and I can see list-james folder getting created under /var/lists/ But when I test by sending a mail to james@localhost, I expected the test mail in the inboxes of the 3 users, instead they are all in the /var/mail/error folder. Am I missing a step? Is the sender address james@localhost corect? Should I create a separate account for james@locahost or the entries in config.xml are sufficient?Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thanks,SM
