Mailman is Not Responding
Hello, I'm new to this list and new to Mailman. I installed Mailman on a Debian box with exim as the MTA (mail server). I get the listinfo and list admin pages up, but any attempt to subscribe via the web form produces no result: no subscription confirmation message, any attempt to send to the list address results in a "no such user" bounce, etc.
What's up? Why do my subscription requests via the web form seem to go into a black hole? Any ideas?

As the other user said, check your logs (perhaps /var/log/exim/mainlogs)
did you copy the stuff from here: /usr/share/doc/mailman/README.EXIM.gz into your exim.config?
that fixed it for me...
Also... I gave up trying to get mailman from Potato to work and used the Woody version (mailman 2.0.9), this required recompiling and installing dpkg, suidmanager, and sysvinit all from woody: (apt-get source NAME, cd NAME-ver, dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc, then install the deb)
