If you have admin_immed_notify on (under Notifications on the General Options page), do you not get the immediate notices, or are you only missing daily notices? >I can kick out a password reminder manually from a listmember's page, so >Mailman clearly has the ability to send stuff, but it's not doing it >automatically like it should. > >I pointed the techs at Inmotion to this: >http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#6.14 FAQ 6.14 has a somewhat misleading title. The real symptom of that problem is that Mailman can't send anything at all, so it doesn't apply in your case. >Unfortunately, the techs there don't even know how to get to the list config >page, much less fix this problem. They've restarted Mailman twice and they >"ran a script on the VPS," whatever that means. It hasn't helped. VPS is probably "Virtual Private Server", but beyond that, I have no idea what that means. I wonder if they do. >Any suggestions I can pass along to them? If only periodic messages such as daily admin summaries, monthly password reminders and periodic digests are missing, it is most likely because the Mailman cron jobs are not being run. Either the cron daemon (crond) is not running at all on the server or there is no crontab installed for the 'mailman' user which runs these jobs.
