I have started setting up mailing lists provided by a VPS hosting service (using PLESK as a management tool). I have put this problem to them and have not received a particularly useful set of responses i.e after many support exchanges I still have the problem.

When I configure Mailman, everything appears to be Ok and accepts changes I have made. One big problem, however, is that it doesn't work.

I have been using macjordomo for some years now and I understand that the philosophy is different but I have headed down a number of dead ends (mainly to do with DNS) in trying to troubleshoot the problem.

Here are the symptoms, having subscribed people using mass subscription

1 if I post a message to the list (from a members email client) ie [EMAIL PROTECTED], it appears to have been successful, I don't get any bad address replies. But no-one on the list receives the message.

2 There are no archives in the list info, It states that no postings have been received.

3 If someone subscribes using the listinfo page, they don't get a subscription acknowledgement and they don't appear in the list of subscribers under Membership list in Membership management at the admin pages.

I am hoping this is an easily rectifiable problem. the helpdesk at the VPS hosting service have been getting me to try to resolve some DNS issues which i believe I have done and still get the same problems. I have deleted lists and started new ones - all with the same results.

Hope someone can help.

PS I tried to subscribe to List Owners from the Python page but the links didn't work.

thanks

Lindsay
