I am new to this list and to mailman
My inslation came preinstalled on a server from 1 and 1 using redhat and apache but NOT python...they have it worked around they claim....anyway...
I can set up lists...go thru all the steps but users cannot subscribe...it says they have but it never sends out the confirmation email and it doesnt show them as subscribed users. I have scoured the options and i cant find anythign not set properly, but newbies can be dummies...so ideas are welcome.
Thanks
Tom

It sounds to me like the mail server may not yet be serving your domain.
Can you use a command line tool like mutt, nail, mail or mailx to send out a test message from the host server?

Perhaps they're shipping Mailman as a frozen binary, but what does that do for configuring via mm_cfg.py?

Is Mailman running (bin/mailmanctl start - or however you start the qrunners on this system)?
