Title: mailman
Did you put the appropriate entries into /etc/aliases and run newaliases?  You should have entries like the following:
 
## mnbasset-announce mailing list
## created: 14-Oct-2000 root
mnbasset-announce:       "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper post mnbasset-announce"
mnbasset-announce-admin: "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner mnbasset-announce"
mnbasset-announce-request: "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd mnbasset-announce"
mnbasset-announce-owner: mnbasset-announce-admin

And then you should see entry like the following in your /var/log/maillog:

Jan 28 18:54:29 www sendmail[8935]: g0T0sSl08934: to="|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper post mnbasset-announce", ctladdr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (8/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=prog, pri=32398, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent
If you've got the entry in maillog, then go to ~mailman/logs and look in post and bounce.  You should see a 1-line entry in post saying that mailman received the e-mail.
 
You may want to check the list through the web interface and check the archives or the pending administrative request queue to see if it's there.  There's a possibility that the message was received but you just haven't received notification of it yet.

Subject: mailman

anyone have any experience setting up and administering mailman?

i have it setup and it's running and sending out email but anytime an email comes in,
like a request subscription confirmation (or anything for that matter) nothing is done with it. i can't find the
incoming mail, nothing is being done with the incoming mail and i can't seem to find a log of where it has gone,
or any errors.

i connected via dsl, using Red Hat 7.2, have a domain (and a static IP) and just can't figure this puppy out.

can anyone offer any help? i've read the how-to's and the readme's but to no avail.

thank you so much.
