Thanks to everyone who has emailed me with assistance so far. I have
some follow up questions:

Following FAQ 3.1.4, I ran check perms. I see a print out of perms.
does this command just tell you what they should be; does it fix them?

As per Aliases, the FAQ is confusing to me, but may be the cause of
my problems. I do not understand how to tell if postfix is
recognizing the ~mailman/data/aliases file.

How do I rebuild the aliases.db file?

Thanks,

I posted last week before moving our distribution lists from a
Panther Server (Mailman 2.1.3) to Tiger Server (Mailman 2.1.5).
Instructioins, esp those from Mark Sapiro were very helpful. I
was able to move the lists, and the archives. Everything in the
OS X Server Admin UI looks fine and the Mailman Web UI looks
fine. I can add members, delete members. But none of the
transfered lists appear to work- mail sent to any of them seems
lost. I can add a new list, add members, and that list works fine, so
Mailman is functioning. On the transfered lists- I did these steps: Stop mailman on old server Stop mailman on new server copy lists and archives

What about alises?

...

edit mm_cfg.py to show correct host name ran fix_url.py although told me to run as bin/withlist -l -r
fix_url listname

This appeared to all run successfully. What to do next?

Look at the list archives.

If the message makes it to the archive, then mailman is getting the
message, so the problem would be with mailman sending the message
back out. Check to make sure the new mailman server has permission
to send thru your mail server etc.

If the message doesn't get to the archives then the problem is with
the message getting to mailman, or with mailman processing the
message on the incoming side, e.g. broken alises not delivering the
mail to mailman or mailman treating the message as spam and
discarding it.

Also look at the mailman logs and the mail server logs.
