Interesting.
I just installed Mailman today, by-the-book and double checked as much as I could, and I'm having the same problems.
/var/log/maillog shows that the message is sent (no errors) to "wrapper" which is symlinked (on FreeBSD) in /usr/libexec/sm.bin and has the correct permissions.
The logs/smtp file doesn't say anything useful:
Jul 03 18:28:32 2001 (75115) smtp for 1 recips, completed in 0.279 seconds
Nothing in the other logs that would point to a problem. "check_perms -f" says all is well.
The aliases in /etc/mail/aliases are set up correctly (that would be obvious).
The administrative interface (web) says there is nothing in queue, and no archive (even though I told it to archive the new private list), but I see in the qfiles directory:
4da4aafdb0a6912bd8774da049fc15a4d25ffe7d.db 4da4aafdb0a6912bd8774da049fc15a4d25ffe7d.msg 6929ca5872c4a2d5c1d5b23a83ae5d25583d5e6b.db 6929ca5872c4a2d5c1d5b23a83ae5d25583d5e6b.msg 8118db9ce7268a9dd718f5cb2764d2260025abfe.db 8118db9ce7268a9dd718f5cb2764d2260025abfe.msg 84a81a52835bd793a1c0066286e304e9bbeeb75c.db 84a81a52835bd793a1c0066286e304e9bbeeb75c.msg c7d72dd3264910737585c35e16372ae52caab1ed.db c7d72dd3264910737585c35e16372ae52caab1ed.msg
My crontab was installed properly and I HUP'd the cron process (the paths are correct in the crontab entries).
The httpd.conf (Apache 1.3.20) seems to be correctly configured -- I can get to the interface using:
http://ourhost.ourdomain.com/mailman/adminI installed an alias per the instructions I read:
Alias /pipermail/ "/local5/mailman/archives/"Though I admit to not seeing where that is useful -- and it doesn't let me at the archive anyway.
Do you have to place an entry in the httpd.conf file for every list you create?? I want to have my private lists available in archive form for the admin.
So... :-) Just a little concerned about why this isn't working and where I can look next for something awry.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I need to know if there's a command for when list's mail isn't being sent. I do have shell access, but I need step by step instructions for this.
The keyword is logfiles. Check the mailman /log directory and check the MTA (mailer) logfiles which are placed depending on your mailer and OS.
Most probably /var/log/maillog or something similar...
