They limit what I can see in /var/log.  There's really only Apache logs and
MySQL logs.  That's it.

They want to charge me some astronomical installation fee.  I'd prefer to
tackle this alone first.  This has been done and I have a feeling I'm
missing something simple and I'm going to be slapping my forehead when I'm
done.

I am using the aliases method.  I don't even know what mm-handler is.  I
followed the INSTALL file that comes with the source distro and it does not
mention mm-handler.

UPDATE:
I fixed it and like I said, it would be elementary.  I was experimenting 
around and disabled my domain's catch-all filter and Mailman works 
perfectly now.  I am a little disappointed that I can't use the catch-all 
filter (unless someone might have some cool trick I can do in 
/etc/aliases?), but I can live without it.  Thank you very much for your help.
