i'm positive the email is going through the new machine, cause i checked the queue on the new machine. when i first moved everything, i cleared the queue, so there wouldn't be any ambiguity. all of the aliases are set up correctly on the new machine. as far as i know, mailman is still running on the old machine... i never turned it off, in any case.

Hi all.

Last night i moved my mailman files from one server to another. I made a tar of all the old files, did an scp to the new machine, untarred it, added the appropriate users (mailman, apache) with the same uid and gids that they had previously. whe i run check_list <listname> it tells me that the list is set up correctly, and that the database is working. however, when i send mail to that list, it gets stuck in the mailman queue,

Is mailman still running on the old machine? Are you SURE the email you are sending is going to (and being returned by) the new machine? Did you look at the logs of the new machine to see the mail stuck in the queue, and then bounced back?

and eventually bounces back to

...

me telling me that the list doesn't exist. eventually i bandaided the problem by NFS mounting the mailman directory onto the machine that it used to run on, which solved the problem, but slowed down the mailing lists a considerable amount, because now they have to go across an NFS mounted drive. what i was wondering is if anybody has seen this before and has some idea of what i need to do to get mailman working on the new server. personally, i suspect that there's something wrong with the way apache is set up, but i can't find anything wrong with it.

Thanks,

Noah
