RE: [Mailman-Users] mailman cron error

Thanks to everyone for their great suggestions. I just blew away the list and set up a new one and it works great. I guess we have learned something from Microsoft (restarting is the way to go)

If the aforementioned tricks don't work...
You can always run nmap localhost to find out what ports *ARE* open and are listening on your box.. That's how I tend to troubleshoot smtp and web problems.

thanks for your help,
I can't think of any place the port assignment would be set for an individual list can you? I guess I can try setting up a new list from scratch to see if the config files somehow were corrupt when the list was built? Any idea where to look besides that? Jon's suggestion to check for typo's is a good one.....

Thanks, Adam

yes I can telnet to port on 119 (they are the same machine by the way) and one list works with the news interface yet the other does not. connection refused says it's not getting there...
(or asking on a different port...)

the settings are the same for each list in the mailman web interface.
"Internet address" is the fqdn for the machine and "name of Usenet group to gateway to and/or from" is the name of the list created using the ctlinnd newgroup command. can you, from the mailman machine, telnet fqdn 119 and get a banner?
I guess I must have missed something??? The list is showing up in the news group view like the other list. The other odd bit and perhaps this is the problem is that mailman is taking a minute or two to post each posting. Since I installed the RPM version of mailman I don't know the password for mailman to view its crontab. If I su - mailman and crontab -l it says no crontab for root, but should this not report the crontab for mailman not root?
crontab -u mailman -l as root should work.

I was afraid of that. It works for one list but not the other. I can't find a setting to allow it for one list and not the other. Know where it is? Check the settings for EACH list's news server.
It looks like it's just not there, fwiw, since it's connection refused, and not a INN error.

Yeah, your INN server isn't running or accepting connections.

Anyone seen this error before? I had mailman working with INN and then it stopped working. I don't think I changed anything and now it is working intermittently.
Thanks, Adam
