Hello,
I hate disturbing you :-(, but I can't manage it myself :-(
my original mailman server broke. I had a backup.
I loan a new hosted server, mailman is here:
http://culte.org/mailman/listinfo
the list "test" should be open.
I followed all the infos to move mailman from here: http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030682, but only mostly, because the infos are old and my distribution is openSUSE, so some minor changes (for example wwwrun:mailman as owner)
I try to summarize what I do here: http://dodin.info/wiki/index.php?n=Doc.Mailman#sDoc.Mailman_9
my problem is that mailman seems to work, I can create a mailing list, see the old archives, but I can't have any mail received by mailman...
I receive the message if I try to subscribe a list, then nothing - I receive the confirmation message, but no acknowledgement. looks like the mail do not reach mailman.
I openned the firewall for smtp, used genaliases..
what can I do? thanks jdd

Look at the logs from your mail server. Does it receive the message? If so, what does it do with it?

well, I did it, finally.
mailman was not guilty :-)
it was postfix. some options (interfaces, for example) are not reset by postfix reload, but need a complete stop/start
sorry to have disturbed, and thanks for a great piece of software

At the risk of being taken to task for illuminating the obvious ....
Probably at least half the problems I see on this list, and several others I'm on, could be definitively addressed, if not completely solved, by reference to system or application logs. Logs are system administrators' first line of inquiry for most problems. I think a lot of people forget how compulsive Unix-like operating systems are about logging nearly everything that happens, and how useful logs can be when something doesn't work as expected.

you are often true. But on this part it was not visible on the logs.
and by the way logs are not always easy to find. Mailman's are not (on openSUSE) available in /var/log, but in /var/lib/mailman/logs
I use postfix for ten years, now, mailman for a bit less, but still have problems... I try to write down most
http://dodin.info/wiki/index.php?n=Doc.Mailman
but every install have some different bit :-(
but I read most of the mail I see here and this is very useful
thanks jdd

True. Postfix has a utility "postconf" and Mailman 3 will have a similar capability ("mailman info" IIRC; maybe Mailman 2 has it too?) that allows you to print out application configuration, including log locations. (Of course if you use syslog or something like that the location will be determined by the syslog application. *sigh* -- but at least then it should be in /var/log somewhere.)
I don't *expect* anybody to remember this advice, but it *might* save somebody some hairpulling someday, so I mention it. :-)

yes, postconf -n is very usefull
testing these applications is very difficult, because many apps are implicated in ther same process, postfix, procmail, fetchmail, mailman, inn, the firewall
for example I sent a handfull of test message, anyone arrived after the completion of postfix setup, all at the same time :-)
