The problem turned out to be quite simple. I forgot to run the mailman
daemon (it was not run when I installed mailman, probably because the
"mailman" mailing list was not defined at the time).

As for how to debug this: It is not clear why there were no logs. The
way I figured this out was because I found out that the mail was piling
in one of the mailman administrative directories. Googling that
directory's name brought me the answer.

Everyone, thanks for trying.
