Mailman is not sending/receiving email
Mailman experts,
I have been managing a mailman list (hosted by Hostway) for over 10 years and have never had a problem until a few days ago.
I can get to the Admin page and everything looks fine. However mail is not being delivered. Sending mail to the list does not generate a bounce and the mail does not get into the Archive. New members can be added in the Admin page, but no notice goes out.
What are the most likely causes and how should I proceed. Btw, Hostway has not been a bit of help even though they charge me $15/month to run the list!
-- Regards, Rod

Hi Rod:
How do you know notices to new members are not being sent out? Did you test this yourself? The first thing I would look at is to see if the email address you are posting from has the necessary permissions set in your list configuration options to post to the list. Have you checked the moderator's queue to see if posts are being caught up there?

You can see https://wiki.list.org/x/4030723, but my best guess is some or all of Mailman's qrunners are not running on the host server.

You probably don't have enough access to the server to do anything. You will have to get Hostway to fix this. By my calculation, you've paid them over $1800. over the last 10+ years. That should be enough to get some response.
If not, talk to Brian Carpenter http://www.mailmanhost.com/ about moving your list.

Mark,
Thanks for your response. After 1 hour on the phone yesterday, Hostway claims they will fix it in 24-48 hours. We'll see. Thanks for the tip on mailmanhost!
