All,

i recently installed Mailman on my server and i just can't make it work !

Explanations: I installed the tarball, followed the instructions, everything's fine, i receive the mail when trying to subscribe, i reply to confirm, and then... nothing, no answer, not subscribed...

I checked the /var/log/maillog : Nov 29 22:22:11 www postfix/local[73222]: DBD2015314A: to=<zia-ml-request_epitech42.net@ncartron.org>, relay=local, delay=1, status=sent ("|/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd zia-ml")

It seems it's ok, isn't it ?

Nothing special in the logs. I'd really like to make it work ! :)

Thanks in advance for any help.

btw: i use freebsd 4.7 with postfix as MTA.

Hello, I sent my message again as i can't find what i could do... I checked with check_perms -f, it's okay, aliases are ok, Postfix receives the message and forwards it to the mail wrapper... and nothing more...

Do you have an idea ? Thanks.

Is qrunner running (Mailman 2.1)? Or are the qrunner cron jobs installed and tested (Mailman 2.0)?

Are there files in any of the subdirectories of mailman/qfiles?

Are you sure that you built Mailman with the correct mail-server-gid?

What version of Mailman are you running?

I'm running Mailman 2.0.13. Cron jobs are installed.

yes, a lot in fact.

yes, i specified the --with-mail-gid matching my /etc/passwd file.

How can i do ? Is this a mailman problem ? I mean, postfix receives the messages and forwards them to Mailman, so it should be a Mailman issue ?

It sounds to me like qrunner is failing to process the queued files. Can you test-run the cron job, exactly as it's entered, to ensure that it works?

If the queued files are in the mailman/qfiles/in directory, then I'd guess that qrunner is unable to get to them. If they're in the mailman/qfiles/shunt directory, then qrunner had an error processing them. There should be something in your logs that will give you a clue about the problem. (BTW, I'm not entirely sure about the preceeding, since I haven't read the code.)

In any case, check the mailman/logs directory for error messages in any of the files.

Beyond that, I don't know. I run 2.1, which has a different qrunner system.
