Hi,

I installed mailman in my Debian 2.0 machine and I ran into exactly the same problem as John Lewis, whose posting I found in the mailman list archive. (And I shared his feeling towards majordomo.) In configurating the Makefile, default values coming with the source are used. The MTA is smail (Debian default), not sendmail and I've added the required aliases in /etc/aliases and ran newaliases.

One more observation: When I tried the administration page, in the General Options Section, there are a numbers of links named "Details" which should be pointing to some topic specific explanation but they all gave the Administrative Authentication page although a look at the HTML source show that that are indeed pointing to different locations.

Any suggestions on how to solve the problem?
