You should be using the configured init.d script from misc/mailman in the directory in which you configured the source distribution. > systemctl start mailman > > it does actually start (I can see the processes) but on the CLI, it > reports start failed.

Thanks everyone. Probably in something like /etc/sysconfig/mailman, but if you want to run the source distribution, you should be using it 100%.
