mailman is not emailing to mailing list users.
Hi everybody! this is my first post.!!
Thank you very much, in advance.
I have a functional email server: a domain name system (bind9), Postfix + courier + virtual users (mysql). domain name: uccleon.edu.ni; server alias: mailserver; host name: uccleon.edu.ni; OS: Centos 5.2.
The email service is working properly, but I had configured mailman with another domain name (ucc.lan), and everything was ok, now that I've changed it to "uccleon.edu.ni", mailman is not sending mails to the mailling list users. I send a mail to "modulos@uccleon.edu.ni" but it doesn't send that message to the list users. It doesnt even appear in the "List archive" neither in the "Pending request list". The users are not being moderated, so they can send mails in any case.
what is ok: It sends the message for the new created list (i.e: modulos), to the admin account. i.e : "welcome to your new mailing list: Modulos".When a user wants to subscribes, it sends the confirmation email.When a user subscribes, it sends the welcome message. When a user wants to unsubscribes, it sends the confirmation email. When I type: $: newlist modulos it creates a "modulos@uccleon.edu.ni" recipient address, I have that account enabled in mysql and it is working fine as an email account.
I'm thinking that if everything else is working as it should, it is possible to be a "http://localhost/mailman/admin/modulos/" configuration problem, the GUI configuration.
Last time that it worked I followed these simple instructions at http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node13.html In short, I have to add a "MTA='Postfix'" to the mm_cfg.py file. and then make a refernce to the mailman aliases file in the "virtual_alias_maps=hash:/etc/mailman/aliases" tag, I guess that worked for me the first time. (I have a bad memory).
This is my Postfix Main.cf file:

The mm_cfg.py file shows:
from Defaults import * import pwd, grp MAILMAN_UID = pwd.getpwnam('mailman')[2] MAILMAN_GID = grp.getgrnam('mailman')[2]
#from socket import * #try: # fqdn = getfqdn() #except: # fqdn = 'mm_cfg_has_unknown_host_domains'

add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST) MTA = 'Postfix'

It appears that the issue is probably that Postfix is not delivering the mail to Mailman. If this is not the case, see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/A4E9> for other ideas.

The GUI per se has nothing to do with the flow of mail through Mailman.

When you changed the domain name, did you update mm_cfg.py and run fix_url per the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/gIA9>, and then run Mailman's bin/genaliases to rebuild the Postfix aliases?
In RedHat/Centos packages, /etc/mailman/aliases is a symlink to Mailman's data/aliases, and this is an alias_map file, not a virtual_alias_map file.
At this point add
VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()
It's not critical, but it removes the 'wrong' entry from Defaults.py
Irrelevant because it's all comments.
Again, this file is an alias_maps file, not a virtual_alias_maps file.
