[Mailman-Users] going nowhere?!

[Michael Bartlett]

hi all,
 
i've just started looking into getting mailman up and running. it appears
that mailman was installed by redhat 8. i am aware that this version may be
slightly out of date:
[root at shiraz mail]# rpm -qa | grep mailman
mailman-2.0.13-1

anyway.
i'm running postfix and using virtual aliases. i was really battling to get
this working:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2002-September/022370.html
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2002-September/022370.html> 
so i went for my own "cunning" solution whereby i do this
 
---- SNIP
#/etc/postfix/virtual.internet
geeks at domain.net <mailto:geeks at domain.net>               geeks
geeks-admin at domain.net <mailto:geeks-admin at domain.net>        geeks-admin
geeks-request at domain.net <mailto:geeks-request at domain.net>
geeks-request
geeks-owner at domain.net <mailto:geeks-owner at domain.net>          geeks-admin
 
---- SNIP
#/etc/postfix/aliases
## geeks mailing list
## created: 23-Sep-2003 mike
geeks:                   "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper post geeks"
geeks-admin:             "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailowner geeks"
geeks-request:           "|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd geeks"
geeks-owner:             geeks-admin
 
so that all seems to work per my /var/log/maillog when doing a reply on a
web-requested subscription:
Sep 23 13:50:03 shiraz postfix/local[8838]: 9C874A0570:
to=<geeks-request at domain.net <mailto:geeks-request at domain.net> >,
relay=local, delay=1, status=sent ("|/var/mailman/mail/wrapper mailcmd
geeks")
 
so off the mail goes to the wrapper - but thats the last i ever see of it!
nothing happens! i've looked in /var/log/mailman, but don't seem to see
anything interesting there. any ideas as to whats going on here or where i
could look for more information?
 
cheers
