Look in the FAQ (I believe 3.14). It has a lot of helpful suggestions. Also, check out your /var/log/maillog file to see if the mail is being picked up.

By default the Sendmail on RH 7.2 is turned off from accepting connections from localhost.

I posted this message earlier, but except from one helpful person that responded through private email, I didn't see any suggestions.

I set up mailman with no problems, created the first list.

Tried subscribing myself from another email address, I still don't see any confirmation emails, nor the email address listed in the member list, nor held in approval/moderation queue.

Mailman service is running.

I tried another email address that I have and subscribed through the web interface again. It's been 48 Hrs and as a list admin I didn't receive the notification (I set up the list to notify admin immediately), nor a confirmation request, and I don't see that in held messages too.

Any suggestions where should I look for troubleshooting?

My current configuration is.

Red Hat Linux 7.2. Python v2.1 Mailman v2.12

Thank you.

Did I ask a stupid question or hard one? Any assistance on this would appreciated.

Here is my problem.

Installed Mailman with no problem, created a test list called mailman.

My current configuration is.

Red Hat Linux 7.2. Python v2.1 Mailman v2.12

All services are working and I can verify all mailman permissions, and email delivery is working.

I can bulk add users with no problems. But if I go to my test lists's info page and try to subscribe.

http://mydomain.com/mailman/subscribe/mailman

Added my myaccount@yahoo.com to test the subscription pages, no problem so far.

Checking my email, no confirmation email arrived.

I have set subscriptions to be confirmed first.

I was told to look at README.SENMAIL in the distribution.

I looked there, and indeed there was a step I missed.

I followed the documentation as suggested. I created the symbolic link

cd /etc/smrsh ln -s /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman mailman

So far no problem the confirmation messages still don't arrive.

Here is what I see in /var/log/maillog

Jul 14 19:44:39 mydomain sendmail[2764]: h6ENidN02764: from=<mailman-bounces@mydomain.com>, size=1646, class=-60, nrcpts=1, msgid=<mailman.0.1058226277.2760.mailman@mydomain.com>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1] Jul 14 19:44:40 mydomain sendmail[2766]: h6ENidN02764: to=<myaccount-owner@yahoo.com>, delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=139646, relay=mx2.mail.yahoo.com.

It seems that mailman insists on sending email to the email address and adds -owner next to the email from, why is this happening? Did I make a mistake when install mailman? I followed the documentation step by step.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.
