Thanks, Mark! As for more details on the error, I found the following
bounce: no errors posts: no errors qrunner: Mar 20 11:25:11 2017 (291) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit (pid: 299, sig: None, sts: 15, class: CommandRunner, slice: 1/1) Mar 20 11:25:11 2017 (291) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit (pid: 301, sig: None, sts: 15, class: NewsRunner, slice: 1/1) Mar 20 11:25:11 2017 (291) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit (pid: 298, sig: None, sts: 15, class: BounceRunner, slice: 1/1) Mar 20 11:25:11 2017 (291) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit (pid: 304, sig: None, sts: 15, class: RetryRunner, slice: 1/1) Mar 20 11:25:11 2017 (291) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit (pid: 303, sig: None, sts: 15, class: VirginRunner, slice: 1/1) Mar 20 11:25:11 2017 (291) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit (pid: 297, sig: None, sts: 15, class: ArchRunner, slice: 1/1) Mar 20 11:25:12 2017 (291) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit (pid: 302, sig: None, sts: 15, class: OutgoingRunner, slice: 1/1) Mar 20 11:25:12 2017 (291) Master qrunner detected subprocess exit (pid: 300, sig: None, sts: 15, class: IncomingRunner, slice: 1/1) This is, I believe the first date, on which I had trouble. I noticed something was up only two days later. Only today did I notice the extent to which something was wrong. smtp: Silence between March 20, 9:48 AM until today 12:31, when I fixed the missing mailman list and restarted mailman. smtp-failure: no errors subscribe: no errors vette: no errors Any idea, why the instructions at <https://www.askdavetaylor.com/why_is_mailman_complaining_site_list_is_missing_mailman/> have me add aliases to /etc/aliases? I don’t recall having to do that, when I first set up mailman. > On Mar 24, 2017, at 3:11 PM, Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 03/24/2017 09:10 AM, Dominik Hoffmann wrote: >> My error log shows entries like this >> >> Mar 22 16:52:28 2017 mailmanctl(175): Site list is missing: mailman >> Mar 22 16:52:28 2017 (175) Site list is missing: mailman > ... > >> The question I have for you guys are >> >> 1.
