Are you getting an error like this?

    Error: real_name attribute not changed! It must differ from the
    list's name by case only.

And if yes, are you on a site hosted using cPanel software?

If the above error describes you situation, then the answer has been
given many times.  Searching the archives on mail-archive.com I get a
lot of hits when I put "real_name attribute not changed" in the search
field.  Here's a link that will bring up the many hits for that
search:

    http://www.mail-archive.com/cgi-bin/htsearch?method=and&format=short&config=mailman-users_python_org&restrict=&exclude=&words=real_name+attribute+not+changed

Basically, this is usually (well, the only times I've ever seen it) a
cPanel induced bug.  Bitch to your web host about letting cPanel muck
up the mailman code, cause errors, and then have that reflect badly on
the hard work done by the mailman developers.

If you are getting a different error, then post the error and maybe
someone here will have more information for you.
