I just installed mailman on Redhat Linux 8.0. Since I saw no documentation
for the RPM version included, I uninstalled that and went the manual way.
I installed with: ./configure --with-cgi-gid=apache. My web pages work
fine. I did see an option for --with-mail-gid. I did not use that as I did
not know the gid for sendmail. I looked in /etc/passwd and did not see a
user "sendmail". When I create a list, I get an email sent. I assume that
the message is being sent from the shell. When I try to send a message to
the list I created I get this reply:

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<test1 at roll.chacity.org>
    (reason: 550 5.1.1 <test1 at roll.chacity.org>... User unknown)
    (expanded from: <test1 at roll.chacity.org>)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----

/var/log/messages and maillog don't show anything of interest. Help!!!
