Re: New list bounces postings, cannot post

The message is an uncaught bounce notification. This says either the
list posts are being sent to
stoppdld-bounces (AT) mailman (DOT) ...sallmenning.no (or possibly
stoppdld-admin (AT) mailman (DOT) ku...sallmenning.no) instead of to
stoppdld (AT) mailman (DOT) kunnskapsallmenning.no or something is wrong with the
aliases or other MTA configuration so that mail to
stoppdld (AT) mailman (DOT) kunnskapsallmenning.no is being piped to the wrapper
with arguments "bounces stoppdld" instead of "post stoppdld".

The name of this list is
stoppdld-admin (AT) mailman (DOT) ku...sallmenning.no, in other words, "admin"
is a part of the list name. Is that a problem? Is "-admin" a reserved
suffix?

(Also, there is another separate list named
stoppdld (AT) mailman (DOT) kunnskapsallmenning.no )

Yes. It's a backward-compatibility alias for -bounces IIRC.

I think all you need to do is find the alias that was created for the
stoppdld list, remove it, and rebuild your aliases.

I'm on a list which like yours want both LIST and LIST-admin lists,
and has had that configuration without trouble for some years. If you
can't resolve the problem I can ask the admins how they have managed
this.
