RE: [Mailman-Users] created a list, but don't get any emails, no confirmation email
Thanks, for the advice. But I've got one other problem. I'm not getting any confirmation emails either. I don't get one after creating a list or trying to subscribe. In logs/subscribe it says that it is pending for the emails I tried to subscribe. I'm assuming it'll be like that until they confirm, which won't happen cuz the email isn't getting sent. I can't figure out where I went wrong. Thanks!

Another thing is that I installed Mailman as root which I know the directions said not to do. Would that be a problem? I couldn't get the permissions to work right when running configure unless I was root. Any help is very greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds like the daemon Mailmanctl is not running. On Wed, 2003-09-10 at 12:36, Concordia Chen wrote: Thanks, for the advice. But I've got one other problem.
