Thanks. . I thought all emails to root will be assassinated. Now my question is that each time you created a list. Do you have to add it to the aliases? I thought mailman's web interface would handle that automatically for you.
"/etc/aliases would contain any email aliases you want, for instance, if you want all mail to root to go to local account jamest...
root: jamest"

Could someone please share some thoughts on how to set
up the /etc/hosts and /etc/aliases? This is tough to set up due to the poorly written manual.
under normal circumstances, /etc/hosts should have only two entries. the exception to this may be if you're using NFS, then hosts should have any NFS clients and servers names (unless you do your NFS mounts by IP address, something I don't really recommend).

there's usually a bunch of sorta stock aliases, like postmaster, etc, these usually go to root, which in turn you forward to whomever.
