Sending mails to distribution lists from external domains

[Volker Stoppe]

Thanks for your help!

I am Using OpenSuSE 10.3 with the rpm-x86-Kolab-packages of OpenSuSE 10.2  
installed by apt-get. At the time of installation the  compilation of the  
source code by OpenPKG died and the OpenSuSE 10.3 packages of kolab where  
not all available. Kolab-Version is 2.1.0. An update to Version 2.1.99  
failed, due to different path names in the configuration.

I found some interesitng messages in the mail.log while sending a mail to  
the distribution list:

Feb  5 12:26:19 mail postfix/smtpd[23719]: maps_find:  
recipient_canonical_maps: recipientlist at mydomain.tld: not found

/usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 23719 killed by signal 11

I am wandering why the smtpd gets regularly killed. At least it seems to  
find the distribution list from the ldap-tree.
