 I'm at my wits end, and have invested way too much of my life in this.
 Can someone point me to a template, or a simple point by point how to
 make this simple configuration work. At this point, I'm happy to nuke
 everything and start with default settings again...
 
 If you set up a simple, default, test list, does that work. If so, see
 http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq03.011.htp.
 If not, see

Thanks for the links Mark. They have helped tie down exactly what is (or 
isn't as the case may be) going on.

I have deleted all lists, and created a brand new one, making minimal 
alterations to default values - (ie. set smtp server name, set 
descriptive rejection notice for all moderated posts, and subscribed an 
address in each of the four mail servers I have access to - just to 
eliminate pop3 or spam filtering issues).

Before I set the reject moderated posts flag, I DID get a reply to the 
originating address stating held for moderation. And after accepting 
the post in moderation tasks, the post DID go to all four addresses 
subscribed.

After I set the reject moderated posts flag, I DID NOT get anything at 
all from anywhere or to anywhere. Not even the rejected notice I had 
added to try and track which part of the system rejected the post. The 
test post just vanished into the ether.

Unfortunately, most of the testing suggestions in your second link, I 
can't get to, as my mailman install is part of a CPanel hosting package 
and I don't have access that far back in the directory tree.

Vital Statistics are as follows...

Mailman version 2.1.7.cp1
Kernel version  2.4.21-40.ELsmp
Apache version  1.3.34 (Unix)
PERL version5.8.7
PHP version 4.4.1
MySQL version   4.0.25-standard
cPanel Build10.8.2-RELEASE 83

I don't know how much of that is useful, or even relevant, but rather 
than make a bad call, it was easier to copy and paste the lot.

Until I can get messages passing through, I guess there is no point 
trying to customize it for how it's supposed to work. I figure I have a 
reasonable handle on that part anyway - just couldn't find what I had 
done to kill it first time round - maybe nothing?

Thanks again for help so far. Any further suggestions more than welcome...

Regards,

Glen

See FAQ 6.11 at 
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq06.011.htp.

In short, you need to work with your cPanel hosting provider and 
use the cPanel public support forums, because there's all sorts of 
changes that they've made to the code base which they have not 
informed us of, and our ability to provide support is very limited.

We'll try to provide what help we can, but since you're using a 
commercially modified version of Mailman, you really should be 
getting all your support through the organizations that provide that 
commercial product to their customers, or the vendor of the product.
