I just a few minutes ago finished upgrading from 2.1.6 to 2.1.7. Everything went fine mail coming in and being posted but not being sent out. I added a new user one on my other ads an it is not sending out susbscription notifies. 2.1.6 was working fine and never had this sort of problem with mailman all the way back to the 1 versions?? What did I miss. Using sendmail configured it proper mail-gid and cgi-gid. What the deal? Point me to the faq or whatever. Mel

In particular, is OutgoingRunner running?
Check logs, particularly 'error', 'smtp' and 'smtp-failure'.
Check qfiles/* to see where the messages are (e.g., shunt, out, ?)

Well I really don't know what happened. I think I am going to clean out the crontab entry dump the mailman directory and start from scratch. Never eveh had this sort of thing sendmail says it sending the post but they are going nowhere. It won't even notify the owner on newlist. I have six server running 2.1.5 and this one was running 2.1.6 but I need to get out all traces and go again, the box will not go into production as scheduled but such is life. Thanks Mark but the FAQ is a bit out of date Since it has been many years since mailman had anything in the /home directory that had to do with the program. FYI Slackware 10.2 Sendmail 8.13.4 no smrsh

The point of the examples used is to show you what they might look like -- the default standard location as we ship the code is /usr/local/mailman, but I know that a lot of package managers will install it somewhere else.
It doesn't really matter where it's installed, what matters is the overall kinds of things you could expect to see there, and the overall processes you go through to try to debug the problems, and with regards to those two areas nothing has changed since Mailman 2.0.x.
As such, it's not really appropriate to take Mark to task for not keeping the FAQ up-to-date, since there's not really much of anything that needs to be updated in that area.
