Hello,
I'm moving a server from openSUSE 13.1 to openSUSE Leap 42.1. Simply coping the config files do not get the expected result.
It's probably something small, but I can't put my finger on it.
list manager works fine with mailman + postfix.
I use to have a news server (inn) as mail<>gateway and it worked
my last notes said that mailman do all the job and is simple to configure.
http://dodin.info/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Doc.Mailman#toc13 but now it's chaotic.
for the list "test", it works from list to news, but not the other way round
for the list linux-31, no result for any way
any hint?
thanks jdd

Is Mailman's cron/gatenews being run? The default crontab runs it every 5 minutes. It is required to gate from usenet to mail.
for the list linux-31, no result for any way
Are the Mail<->News gateways settings other than linked_newsgroup the same for both lists? Does the linked_newsgroup exist on nntp_host?
Are gateway_to_news and gateway_to_mail both set to Yes for both lists?
Are any NNTP errors being logged in Mailman's error log?
What's in Mailman's fromusenet log?
If you are using a different nntp_host than before, it's likely the message numbers are lower on the new host and haven't caught up to the list's usenet_watermark. If this is the case, setting the list's Mail<->News gateways -> mass_catchup to Yes and Submitting changes will start gating with the next new message.

the documentation is ambiguous
https://wiki.list.org/DOC/Configuring%20cron%20to%20run%20with%20the%20corre....
says that this is needed only with 2.0, I have 2.1.21
I used:
http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialMailman.html
that is:
[root prompt]# cd /usr/lib/mailman/cron [root prompt]# crontab -u mailman crontab.in
now the test list works both ways. good. I completed my doc

yes for both

surprisingly not. for linux-31 it was set to no. bad :-(. corrected
Mail<->News gateways -> mass_catchup to Yes and Submitting changes will start gating with the next new message.
no result.
I could find a fix creating an other newsgroup (other name), and this one I could sync it with mailman.
thanks jdd

That refers to running the qrunners via cron which was MM 2.0 only. It doesn't mean that there aren't any cron jobs needed with MM 2.1

OK

no result.
This action produces no result until a subsequent post arrives at the news server.
What does Mailman's fromusenet log say?

no error
May 21 19:00:03 2016 (7857) nothing new for list linux-31 May 21 19:00:03 2016 (7857) linux-31 watermark: 7
but something was wrong on the inn side, I couldn't even post to the group. Since I changed to group for a new one (new name), all works fine
As I have mailman archives, I don't need news archives, so the group name is not really important
but thanks to your notes I could make the system work. Your help is always very good
thanks a lot jdd
