[Mailman-Users] empty gateway archive

I think, or assume, that mailman is running its cron, but nothing seems to be coming through from the NNTP gateway when there have been new posts. In general, how do I troubleshoot the gateway? the script is there in: /var/lib/mailman/cron/gate_news but are the results logged anywhere, perha

[Mailman-Users] subscribe @localhost

I want to subscribe thufir@localhost to a mailing list -- of course that's rejected for not being a FQDN. So I subscribed thu...@dur.bouncme.net. Presumably I need to configure postfix recognize that as localhost? In terms of mailman, is there a log of what happened. I don't expect the sub

As I had begun to suspect, this had nothing to do with Mailman. I imported MySQL records from the old server for authenticating mail users and assigning virtual mailboxes. All of these contained numeric GID records appropriate for that installation, and the mail server indeed ran with that GID wh
