ugh, you must be a developer... :-) (just in case, here comes another one ;-))
My problem was that mailman received all fine, queued all fine, and never delivered a thing. Obviously my sendmail was running. When I changed DELIVERY_MODULE from SMTPDirect to Sendmail, it worked just fine. Now, I do not understand this: First you wrote: That's a pretty strong warning against using this in production. And then you wrote: "There is nothing wrong with using sendmail as your MTA with mailman. Lots of people do this (despite sendmail's horrid .cf file, IMO ;)." So, my problem (one of my many problems :-)) is that, I suppose, I do not know what the hell is SMTPDirect, except that it is not something standard in Solaris 8, because I have the full distribution. Now, might mailman work if I just put SMTP instead of SMTPDirect? Any comments? As for all the warnings you cited, right, I read them. I read them *after* I discovered what the problem was, which took me 24 hours... My only point is that I would not see anything wrong if the README file, the one we read when we install the thing, had said: "By the way, take a look at Defaults.py. It may well be that your sistem does not use SMTPDirect bla bla bla."
