Good afternoon, I am running a Potato based Debian system that I would like to get Mailman up and running on. Needless to say I have encountered some problems involving Mailman, and I am wondering if anyone here is currently using the Debian-supplied Mailman package and has it working.
I have followed the instructions in the README.Debian file, tried tweaking things to work... but to no avail. My symtoms are: - I cannot post to any created mailing lists. I can send mail to it, but it disappears into oblivion. (I've checked as many logs as I can think of and have found no trace). - I used to have trouble with Mailman remembering settings, but it now seems to be able to remember the settings as well as the subscribed users. - When I create a new mailing list, say "list", I will get a directory /var/lib/mailman/private/list.mbox (the Mailman-created web pages will choke as they want to point to 'list' and not 'list.mbox'... I can work around with with a symbolic link, but I don't think this helps anything). I would really like to use the Debian package as opposed to going out and compiling it from scratch, simply to take advantage of any security updates, etc. that I can apt-get. Also, I am running a Potato system but am currently trying to use Mailman-2.0final (from woody/unstable)... Mailman-1.1.6 or whatever would absolutely refuse to work for me. I've installed any dependencies it required. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! p.s. Please Cc: me as I'm not subscribed to this list. --- Matthew Haas Lab46 System Administrator
