[Mailman-Users] created a list, but don't get any emails, no confirmation email

[Concordia Chen]

Thanks, for the advice. But I've got one other problem. I'm not getting
any confirmation emails either. I don't get one after creating a list or
trying to subscribe. In logs/subscribe it says that it is pending for
the emails I tried to subscribe. I'm assuming it'll be like that until
they confirm, which won't happen cuz the email isn't getting sent. I
can't figure out where I went wrong.

Thanks!
Concordia

Unless you do some nice modding to the install, Mailman will not add the
aliases automagically for Sendmail.  It will for Postfix and a few other
MTA's that have been integrated to work with Mailman.

The lists were created fine (via the web-tool), so now you just need to
add the aliases manually.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
