Hi all,
We've recently installed mailman here to evaluate it, but ran into a brick wall: mailman does not redistribute any post.
It seems that mailman is receiving the post with no problems but it is not sending it out to any of the subscribed users.
We've run all the commands in the crontab to no avail.
What shall we do?
Thanks in advance, Jacques
Generally the first thing to do is to check the mail log. It does sound like you're probably getting father than that, so the next thing to do would be to check the error log, in $mailmandir/logs/errors or something like that. Let us know what you see, then give us info about your OS, etc...

Hi all,
FTF: Solaris 2.6; Sendmail 8.8.8
The file $mailmandir/lists/mylist/next-digest does contain the messages sent to the list. Yesterday - out of the blue - I received a message I had sent to the list a while ago. I've replied to the message yesterday and it has not been sent out to the list users; it's in the next-digest file.
The following is in our error file:
