Sorry, I sent that before I finished it. I meant to say

There are other FAQ articles such as
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.014.htp>
that may have been helpful, but we don't know if they are applicable
to the Mac OS-X Server Mailman or not because it is a modified version
of our package, and we don't know what the mods are.

WRT to mailmanctl, apparently the Mailman qrunners were running at some
time and then stopped. I don't know how they were started in the first
place or why they stopped. Perhaps a reboot of the server would have
started them again, perhaps not, but IMO, the fact that all this is
not documented for you is Apple's failure, not ours.

I think I can understand your frustration, and I am not trying to be
unsympathetic. If you had installed our package, and found our
installation manual lacking, we would do our best to supplement it or
improve it. However, we really can't create documentation for packages
whose details we have even less information about than you do.
