[Mailman-Users] cannot send message to the list?

I cannot seem to send anything to the list...

I double checked my DNS and MX, seem to be fine...

I do not get a bounce back, at least not immediately, but I cannot 
seem to "communicate" with the list via email, the web interface 
seems to be working just fine...

do I need to do something with sendmail so that sendmail will 
"realize" that it is supposed to be handling email for 
lists.first5ventura.org?

where are the sendmail error log files kept?




http://lists.first5ventura.org/mailman/listinfo/test



just as an FYI here are my config files for mm/dns/apache

in mm_cfg.py I have this single line:

add_virtualhost('lists.first5ventura.org', 'lists.first5ventura.org')


DNS Setup:
$ cat /var/named/master/first5ventura.org
