Hello, Mailman Users,

I'm working with my website administrator to resolve some difficulties
with our Mailman installation.  We're using RH Linux with Postfix MTA.
The installation passes the check scripts for permissions and database
consistency.  The web pages display fine.  But we can't send any mail
to any list.

Question: do the aliases for individual lists as well as the
"mailman" and "mailman-owner" have to be in /etc/aliases or
/etc/aliases.db or does it suffice to put them in the MySQL (?)
databases used by Postfix?

The problem I'm encountering is that a posting to the list results
in error code 1:

---
...Command died with status 1:
    "/home/mailman/scripts/post concerns"
---
(The name of the list is "concerns".)

Also, I'm seeing the following error from qrunner in the
error log repeatedly:

You do not say which version of Mailman and Python you are running. This problem arose because some Python 2.x specific code constructs (not compatible with Python 1.5.2 and 1.6) crept into some updates to MM 2.0.x.

You should be able to resolve the problem by either upgrading to MM 2.0.13 (which removed the offending constructs) or/and upgrading to Python 2.1.3 or 2.2.2.

You should upgrade to MM 2.0.13 even if you do not want to upgrade your Python.

I'd appreciate any pointers or suggestions.

Thanks in advance,

--Emil
