Dear List -
I recently have changed mail servers and my attempt at moving Mailman appears to have only partially succeeded.
Currently:
check_perms comes back fine - Good. cron is running the news_port command every 5 minutes (good cron check) -Good. The web interface works fine - all list look great - Good. Mail sent to a list appears in a qfile - Good. Qrunner is running - Good. Mailmanctrl is running - Good. Nothing is being sent to Postfix - Bad!!! Qfile In directory purged just in case, still nothing.
System:
Gentoo 2.6.13 running 2.6.13-gentoo.r3 kernel, 64-bit, on an AMD64 3000. Postfix - but nothing fancy - no virtual domains, etc. Mailman 2.1.5-r3 build via emerge into the standard location
Help!!! <with a smile>
Kevin

Is Postfix running? Did you set MTA = 'Postfix' in your mm_cfg.py? Did you run bin/genaliases followed by newaliases? Did you set up the postfix main.cf file correctly?

Does anyone know whether digest subscribers can also select topics to receive and avoid? I've looked in the knowledge base and googled, but I can't find the answer.

Topics do not apply to digests. There are only two digests prepared, the plain text version and the MIME version, and then the appropriat one is sent to each digest subscriber. Both digests contain all messages.

That's what I guessed. Thanks for your quick response.

In qfiles/in/ or elsewhere like qfiles/shunt/?
Qrunner is running - Good.
All the qrunners? there should be 8 plus the master.

I assume you mean from Mailman outbound to postfix since you say incomming posts get queued.
Qfile In directory purged just in case, still nothing.
If there were unprocessed files in qfiles/in/, it is likely the incoming runner isn't running. If messages are sitting in any qfiles/ subdirectory other than shunt or maybe retry, the corresponding qrunner probably isn't running.
What if anything is in the Mailman log files?
