Hi,
I have installed Mailman 1.0 on a SuSE 6.2 System running sendmail 8.9.3. There hasn't been any problems during installation. I was able to create a new list and configure it (The name is 'ieg').
When I send a message to the list, it is archived but isn't delivered to the members.
All it says in the logs is 'Data format error' and I don't get any response, not even the list owner gets an error message.
Would be great if somebody with a better understanding of mail delivery could help. I'm not even sure if this a Mailman problem though it's first I encounter such problems.
Thanks.
Uwe
