Are you running an OS which uses upstart to start services? Check to see if you have /etc/init/mailman.conf or similar and if so, verify that the script is correct.

RHEL6.x does use upstart, but neither the old nor new server has a file /etc/init/mailman.conf.
Thanks

OK. I'm at a total loss and grasping at straws, but could this be a SeLinux issue. If SeLinux is enabled, try disabling it and see if that helps.
Also, you might look at the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/lYA9>, but it seems you've already covered that.
Regarding lists not appearing on the listinfo overview and not being able to create lists from the web, can you successfully go to a list's listinfo page by appending /listname to the URL?, and are you sure that DNS is taking you to the right server?

Mark, Good straw to grasp at. I thought SElinux had already been disabled but it hadn't. It seems to be working now.
Thanks!

I thought I sent this but my MUA disagrees....

Do we have better advice than just "disable SELinux" to offer?
I ask because "solving" the DMARC "problem" seems to involve trust of Mediators (the technical RFC term for middlemen like Mailman) by Author Domains (RFC-ese for domains with DMARC policies about verifying From:). Asking upstream to trust sites which have deliberately disabled security features seems like poor strategy at best.
