SMTPHOST...in mm_cfg.py...no info on DELIVERY_MODULE = 'SMTPDirect' MTA = 'Manual' SMTPHOST = 'localhost' SMTPPORT = 0 # default from smtplib SENDMAIL_CMD = '/usr/lib/sendmail'
If the above are actually indented, this is bad. They shouldn't be.
Is this from mm_cfg.py or Defaults.py?
Actually the text listed above on SMTP which was in section 4 of 3.14 FAQ is not listed in my mm_cfg.py...not there at all. Is this a problem?
- Locks
Can't find any locks folder under a mailman directory
It's somewhere? Is there a setting for LOCK_DIR in mm_cfg.py?
There is no setting for LOCK_DIR in the mm_cfg.py. I perform a locate on either LOCK or LOCK_DIR and the only LOCK I can find deal with items in an selinux area.
Within the Mailman directory there is a LockFile.py, LockFile.pyc and LockFile.pyo

And most important, what's in the smtp-failure log?
Here is what the smtp-failure log is saying...

This goes on and on and on.
To recap...I've created two lists to-date. mailman and test. I have not received confirmation emails about starting either list. Also, I joined the list *test* via the web-interface. I have not as the administrator of this list been given a notification to approve my acceptance to the list via the admin pending area. Also, I sent a message via my business email to the *test* list and have not received that message and the message is not showing up in the mailman provided *test* list archive.
As an aside...and I know this is a bit out-there, and I'm not looking for help on this through this group but will bring it up as it may have some connection. I am also unable to view any usage statistics via webalizer either remotely or from the localhost. I've checked all of the normal FAQ/info from lists on this and am continually getting the following. "Forbidden...You don't have permission to access /usage/ on this server. ... Apache/2.2.0 (Fedora) Server at www.*****.org Port 80"
Now here is why I bring it up...about two years ago when I set both the
site up and mailman lists I (a) had no problem with viewing the usage
characteristics and (b) had no problem with confirmation emails (although
I did have initial issues with remote users getting and receiving emails).
That system went down due to a blown power supply and I've since been
attempting to rebuild. The new installation of Linux is as listed in the
initial message and it is my understanding that SELINUX sometimes plays
some tricks behind the scenes from a security perspective...could this be
the root of both of my issues? Just a thought to throw out there.
