[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, perhaps?

thanks,
