It means the mail was delivered to Mailman's mail wrapper which presumably passed it to to Mailman's 'post' script which in turn would place it in Mailman's in/ queue. >So, why would the users on the test list not get the messages? Ith most likely reason is you don't have an init script to start mailman so mailman isn't running and all the messages are just sitting in Mailman's in/ queue. You could look at the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/A4E9> for other possibilities. >Also, which log messages should I look for and rely on?

Both, since the tell you about different steps in the process. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
