I started this morning, working through Rich Price's configuration list, 
at http://www.linuxgazette.com/node/618
 
I checked each item, and made sure it was set up as his script directed. 
Everything tested out correct until I 'replied' with the confirmation 
email sent to me from the list, getting the following response:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its

    local delivery failed

The following text was generated during the delivery attempt:

Illegal command: mailcmd

After changing everything in my exim, exim4 and apache config files, I ran /usr/lib/mailman/bin/mailmanctl restart   it restarted ok....

I send a message to the newly created list test at fyrenice.com and I get a message back telling me it's waiting for administrator approval.. 

I am grateful for any insight that can get me on the road with Mailman...instead of spinning my wheels with it.
