Re: [Mailman-Users] new trouble with existing lists
Thank you very much for the help. The problem was that I didn't have a mailman mailing list and I needed to start the mailmanctl daemon. I wasn't aware of these changes to Mailman. I have a new question, though. Where should I put the /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/bin/mailmanctl start command in FreeBSD so that it starts on boot?

Re: [Mailman-Users] new trouble with existing lists
Thanks again. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ was the correct place. There was already a mailman script there. I guess the problem was that I just didn't have a mailman mailing list. Thanks for being so much help.
