Can't find Mailman list server

[DennyP]

In Plesk 10.4.4 when I click on "Manage the List" on a mailing list I get "can't find the server at lists.mydomain.com". I am able to email to the list and have it distributed to the list participants.

I am actually trying to find where I can increase the email size limit. It appears to be set at 40k which isn't very large.

I got an email ...

As list administrator, your authorization is requested for the following mailing list posting:

List: [email protected]

Subject: Hello WWW's
Reason: Message body is too big: 43058 bytes with a limit of 40 KB

At your convenience, visit:

http://lists.dennyp.com/mailman/admindb/www2012w

to approve or deny the request.

When I click on the link to approve/deny I get "can't find the server at lists.dennyp.com".

I tried entering "mailman" into the Plesk Help Search field but it came back with no hits.

Any advice or suggestions?

I forgot to mention that if I do /etc/init.d/mailman/status the reply says mailman is running

Issue may be caused by invalid resolution of lists.dennyp.com hostname. Check it.

 

[DennyP]

I appreciate the suggestion. But how do I check the resolution of that host name?

 

[IgorG]

Run

# host lists.dennyp.com

and check that it is resolvable to correct IP address.

The reply to the above command is:

Host lists.dennyp.com not found: 3 (NXDOMAIN)

So what do I do next? My ISP supplied my server with Red Hat, Plesk, and other products pre-installed. They gave me no instructions on doing anything for mailman set up.

Thank you.

I tried "# /etc/init.d/mailman start" and got a message "Starting mailman". But the host command still comes back wth not found.

I had to add a DNS record which corrected the problem.
