Here’s the scoop: I did a web site redesign for a non-profit. They didn’t mention to me that they had a mailman list associated with the site. When we transferred the url to Squarespace their list quakers@sbfriends.org stopped functioning and the administration login link: http://mail.sbfriends.org/mailman/admin/quakers_sbfriends.org results in a “server not found” error.

I don’t know how to set up the site so that their mailman list works again. Please tell me exactly what to do to make this work. Let me know if I can provide any additional information to help you help me.

As I have told you in other communications, you need a DNS A record for the mail.sbfriends.org pointing to the IP address of the Mailman server that hosts the list. We have no idea what that IP address is. You will have to ask your client what Mailman hosting service they were using for their sbfriends.org domain.

That A record will probably suffice to get to the web UI for the list, but you will probably also need an MX record for the sbfriends.org domain pointing to mail.sbfriends.org for mail delivery to the list.

This is my first post to this forum, so I hope I’ve done so correctly.

The correct list for Mailman 2.1 issues (http://mail.sbfriends.org/mailman/admin/quakers_sbfriends.org is a Mailman 2.1 URL) is mailman-users@python.org <https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users>. This list is for Mailman 3. However, you won't get a different answer from that list.
