RE: [Mailman-Users] list emails aren't being sent (me, too) FIXED?
Ah. It wasn't immediately obvious to me that the crontab in question needed to be installed under the "mailman" ID. On FreeBSD, they have individual crontab entries, but also /etc/crontab -- where most of my stuff goes. I've put this into mailman's crontab, and manually ran the qrunner, and the messages got delivered and the archive was visible. That seems to fix it major issue in question. Note that confirmations of posts were not sent out -- and I've subsequently tried this since then, and the post gets processed, and I did configure it to send a confirmation back to the poster. Yeah, the crontab was a flagrant oversight -- but maybe the docs could emphasize this a bit, for those that might run into this. Thanks for everyone's help.

RE: [Mailman-Users] list emails aren't being sent (me, too)
Interesting. I just installed Mailman today, by-the-book and double checked as much as I could, and I'm having the same problems. /var/log/maillog shows that the message is sent (no errors) to "wrapper" which is symlinked (on FreeBSD) in /usr/libexec/sm.bin and has the correct permissions. The logs/smtp file doesn't say anything useful: Jul 03 18:28:32 2001 (75115) smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.279 seconds Nothing in the other logs that would point to a problem. "check_perms -f" says all is well. The aliases in /etc/mail/aliases are set up correctly (that would be obvious). The administrative interface (web) says there is nothing in queue, and no archive (even though I told it to archive the new private list), but I see in the qfiles directory: 4da4aafdb0a6912bd8774da049fc15a4d25ffe7d.db 4da4aafdb0a6912bd8774da049fc15a4d25ffe7d.msg 6929ca5872c4a2d5c1d5b23a83ae5d25583d5e6b.db 6929ca5872c4a2d5c1d5b23a83ae5d25583d5e6b.msg 8118db9ce7268a9dd718f5cb2764d2260025abfe.db 8118db9ce7268a9dd718f5cb2764d2260025abfe.msg 84a81a52835bd793a1c0066286e304e9bbeeb75c.db 84a81a52835bd793a1c0066286e304e9bbeeb75c.msg c7d72dd3264910737585c35e16372ae52caab1ed.db c7d72dd3264910737585c35e16372ae52caab1ed.msg My crontab was installed properly and I HUP'd the cron process (the paths are correct in the crontab entries). The httpd.conf (Apache 1.3.20) seems to be correctly configured -- I can get to the interface using: http://ourhost.ourdomain.com/mailman/admin I installed an alias per the instructions I read: Alias /pipermail/ "/local5/mailman/archives/" Though I admit to not seeing where that is useful -- and it doesn't let me at the archive anyway. Do you have to place an entry in the httpd.conf file for every list you create?? I want to have my private lists available in archive form for the admin. So... :-) Just a little concerned about why this isn't working and where I can look next for something awry.
