RC1 Seems to work but incoming mails are ignored
Hi,
I installed today mailman for the first time. I started right away with version 2.0RC1. The web frontend works, I can subscribe, administer and so on. Mailman sends mails out as a result of all interaction with the web frontend.
But as soon as I send a mail to my list, I do not get any reaction besides that two files are created in the directory qfiles. None of the subscribed users get any mail. Subscription via mail doesn't work either.
My System: Linux 2.2.14 (SuSE) python-1.5.2 apache-1.3.6 sendmail-8.9.3
best regards, Andreas

Here comes the chorus:
"Cron?"
What will the protagonist's answer be?

Hi,
cool answer - am I supposed to grep for cron (I suppose you're talking about the schedule daemon) in all faqs, readme, and docs, or is this some kind of riddle.
I'd really appreciate a little bit more details...
greetings, Andreas

I'd hate to sound like an asshole here, but, if you read the documents,you'd know what he was referring to. Mailman is well documented, but if you don't bother reading the manual, the install file, readme file, or anything else related to Mailman that actually tells you, step by step, on how to set it up and get it working, I'm afraid you're going to continue getting answers like that.
So, let me give you a bit more detail about this mysterious 'cron' Dan Micksuggested: READ THE FINE MANUAL! (I prefer not to be rude folks)
You're not supposed to be grepping for anything. However, you are supposedto help yourself in reading AT LEAST the INSTALL file that comes with Mailman. Is that asking too much? It's not like we're asking you to read a 600+ page manual. Someone actually went out of their way to write that INSTALL file, which guides you step by step, on how you should install Mailman, INCLUDING the cron task. Think of how they feel when people like yourself start posting questions that are well explained in their documentation. Hell, for that matter, put yourself in their shoes. You write an instructions page, and people just ignore it. How would that make you feel?

Where is the Mailman manual?

I was speaking in general, where softwares that are made for public usage havesome sort of 'manual', or installation instructions with them. Mailman also has that. Several files for that matter:
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS - BUGS - FAQ - INSTALL - NEWS README - README.BSD - README.LINUX - README.NETSCAPE README.QMAIL - README.SENDMAIL - TODO - UPGRADING
Those are all text files that one should peruse in case of trouble, specially theINSTALL file.
