% I'm using Mailman on RH7.3 Everything seems to work great ,

Possibly, possibly not.

The error log is in $prefix/logs - if you're fortunate, something
might turn up there.

If you're using SpamAssasin, apparently it does something to
the mail headers - search for it in the archives for more info.

Try su'ing to the mailman user and execute $prefix/bin/arch listname;
perhaps running it from the command line will return an error
which isn't showing up in the logs.

And obviously check your permissions.

After all of that, it might not work.  I'm one of about 30 people
on this list who have tried to get to the bottom of the fact that
sometimes, and without generating any errors at all, for some
people it just doesn't bloody work.  And no bugger has any idea
why not.

Although the failure to log an error when pipermail fails is
surely quite an ugly little bug.
