OS X client or server? Which version? Apple's install or from source? If it's the out of the box OS X Server version, start the qrunners with /usr/share/mailman/bin mailmanctl start. If it's from source, the location of the mailman/bin folder is likely to be different. The Server version should have a Mailman folder in /System/Library/StartupItems/ that starts it automatically at boot time. You can also create one yourself to run on the OS X client.

Sounds like there's nothing on your computer to start mailman automatically at boot. To start it on your current running system, go into Terminal and type: sudo /path/to/mailman/bin/mailmanctl start where /path/to/mailman is the path to where mailman is (for instance, if it's in the Applications folder in a folder called Mailman, then you'd put /Applications/Mailman there). To have Mailman start at boot time, follow these instructions from my guid to installing Mailman on Mac OS X (the full guide can be found in the archives - it's from July 2005): Step 8) Configure your system to start Mailman when it is booted. a) Open Terminal and change directory to /Library/LaunchDaemons: sudo su cd /Library/LaunchDaemons *** June 2007 addendum: my original said to cd to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons. I've since learned that Apple recommends that only Apple provided startup files be there and 3rd-party startup files be in /Library/LaunchDaemons (not withstanding that other 3rd-party packages have put stuff in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons). b) Create the Mailman startup preference file: touch mailman.plist c) Using your favorite method of text editing, add the following content to mailman.plist: Disabled Label mailman OnDemand ProgramArguments /Applications/Mailman/bin/mailmanctl start ServiceIPC RunAtLoad d) Verify the file ownership and permissions: ls -l You should see one of the lines saying something like: -rw-r--r-- 5 root wheel 170 12 May 11:21 mailman e) If the permissions (rw-r--r--) are not correct, type: chmod 644 mailman.plist f) If the owner (root) or group (wheel) is not correct, type: chown root:wheel Mailman g) Reboot (Restart) your system. When it finishes rebooting, Mailman should be running. To verify, open Terminal and type: ps -ax | grep python You should see a bunch of lines like this: 434 ?? Ss 0:00.04 python bin/mailmanctl -s start 443 ?? S 4:19.95 /usr/bin/python /Applications/Mailman/bin/qrunner --r 444 ?? S 4:08.58 /usr/bin/python /Applications/Mailman/bin/qrunner --r 445 ??

[Mailman-Users] startup commands on OSX
Hello: I have a question I hope someone can help me with. I have Mailman loaded on a Mac and it has been working fine. The computer lost power the other evening and shutdown. After restarting the computer I can access the Mailman lists, but any mail does not get sent. I added several new users today and I did not get the new user notifications. Then I sent an email to one of the lists and I get nothing. The guy that used to manage the system has left the company. I thought there was something I needed to run at the command line to get the mail moving? Anyone know what the commands are to get the mail moving again? Thanks for any help! -Chris -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
