Thanks Odhiambo I would do this, but I cannot find any tarballs anywhere which relate to mailman on my system. Where would I get this, and is it advisable to do so under the Debian system? (this part addresses to Debian users)
I was checking out the netstat results, as John suggested that someone else do, and this is what I got -------- fish:/var/log# netstat -na |grep ":25 " tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN -------- Being a linux neophyte, this seems to say that nothing is listening on localhost or 127.0.0.1. And being curious, I decided to check the passwd file for the user with pid:uid of 103 and it was the other list program that I was using when I decided to try mailman (whispering here, "it was Listar") and was wondering if I should just change the pid:uid of that user to what mailman was looking for?

Why don't you look at where Debian has installed it, grab a tarball, run ./configure --with-prefix=/existing/path --with-mail-gid=XX --with-cgi-gid=X X Then install?? I run FreeBSD so I may be lying to you because I don't know Debian stuff, but unixwise (using the same version of Mailman that Debian uses) I believe I am correct ;-) -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "The box said 'Requires Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com Windows 95, NT, or better,' Tel: +254 2 313985-9 +254 2 313922 so I installed FreeBSD."
