Hi,
Installed mailman and have confirmed that everything works fine…except the “If you are having trouble using the lists, please contact mailman@example.com.” doesn’t send an email that I can find anywhere on the server or in my accounts…any thoughts on how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Happy New Year!

Subscribe yourself to the mailman (site-)list, check the sender filters, and try again?
(If you're using a competent MTA (^___^),
'exim -D -bt mailman@example.com',
may be useful.)
I'm presuming here that you've obfuscated your domain, and aren't from the IANA.
