I was running mailman successfully for years on my server. Then this week I
cut over to a new server and hired someone to install the latest version of
mailman and migrate all my existing lists. This mostly works.



I can run /usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_lists and all my lists are displayed. I
can use the mailman admin page to list all my lists and I can edit each of
them from there.



But when I try to send email to any list, my email is sent back to me with
the following message:

I have run:

test ls -ld test

-rw-rw-r-- 1 root   mailman   22 Mar 29 13:50 request.pck



Can you help me find out what is wrong?

Thanks.

The first thing that comes to mind is the aliases file.
What alias file is used by Postfix?  Does that file have all
of the Mailman aliases for each list?

Have they cashed the check yet?

I don't have a good guess, but based on what you've shown is there and
the fact that the web CGIs access the correct stuff, I think the mail
wrapper is pointing at the wrong installation.

I.e., I think that in the configuration and installation process, there
was more than one configuration done with different values for --prefix=
and somehow the mail wrapper in /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman hasn't
been compiled with the correct prefix.

Things to check are

1) what is the value of 'prefix' in /usr/lib/mailman/scripts/paths.py
(although if this were wrong, the web stuff wouldn't work either)

Also, does
  diff /usr/lib/mailman/scripts/paths.py /usr/lib/mailman/bin/paths.py
show any difference? (it shouldn't)

2) run
  strings /usr/lib/mailman/mail/mailman | grep mailman

This should produce 2 or three lines, two of which should be in your case

/usr/lib/mailman
/usr/lib/mailman/scripts/

There may be another line pointing to the source directory - this
doesn't matter.
